If you’re not familiar with Woopra, it’s an amazing real-time analytics system. I’ve been using them ever since I got lucky enough to get a beta invite at WordCamp last year. They’ just released the last Release Candidate for it before it goes Gold. Here’s how to install it on Ubuntu.

1. Download the .sh file from the Woopra site (at the bottom) or here’s a direct link.
2. Right click the file and choose ‘Properties’ and the click the ‘Permissions’ tab
   
3. Check the box at the bottom that says "Allow Executing File As Program"
   
4. Double click the file. When the dialogue box pops up, choose “Run in Terminal”
   
5. A terminal window should open. If you see something about a “write protected file”, just hit “y”, then Enter
   
6. You should now see the Woopra installer begin. I left everything as the default.
