How do I install Navicat on Ubuntu Desktop 12.04?

I have just configured a new Ubuntu 12.04. Because I'm not so familiar with the command line, I prefer to use Ubuntu Desktop so that I can have a GUI. Now I need to install a front-end to connect with MySQL.

I prefer to use Navicat in a MAC environment, so I was hoping to install Navicat on the Ubuntu machine. I downloaded a Linux copy of Navicat for MySQL from here:

http://www.navicat.com/download/navicat-for-mysql

The problem I am having is that I don't know how to install the program after it has been downloaded. There is a navicat.exe file in the navicat folder, but that seems to be for a DOS/Windows environment.

I just can't figure out how to install Navicat onto Ubuntu Desktop 12.04. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Yes, there is indeed a navicat.exe file there. Unfortunately they're basically just shipping a windows and wine setup, the start_navicat script should fire it up for you. You might need to open a terminal, navigate to that directory and then run ./start_navicat as I suspect the system won't recognise it as a shell script.

There's no installation, afaik, beyond un-taring in a convenient location, but if you're after it on your start menu you could manually create an entry for that script.
