I installed the file without success. Program still won't launch.

Where can I find dependency list of a package and a list of installed programs? Taskbar is frustrating because I can't just copy and paste a shortcut from there.

I will need baby-steps for this because I am way too used to Windows' interface. I am in the directory and installed the sfs file. How do I get the terminal to change directory?
