Hello ishak

It usually depends on how the application (extension) was installed. Also the application itself may not install to the menu..

In Apps browser, you should use default option to install "OnBoot"  which downloads to your local extension store then loads the extension for immediate use and makes the application available after a reboot.

Which extension are you attempting to use??

You should try opening the terminal and launch the application by entering it's name,  report any errors shown in the terminal here.

good luck

thanks, I will try to install wifi.tcz for example and if i want to run it i write in "terminal"
wifi.tcz
Are thise true!

If you're installing wifi.tz via Apps use OnBoot install option then use the wifi icon on the wbar (usually at bottom of screen) to launch it.

Or, in the terminal, type:  wifi.sh     (because wifi.tcz is an extension containing the script "wifi.sh")


The basics:
First,   you'll need to download an extension and all it's dependencies (normally accomplished with Apps)
Next,  you'll need to load the main extension which in turn loads any required dependencies if not already loaded, use Apps or tc-load -i )
lastly, you'll need to Launch the main application  (use the application icon, menu item or simply type it's name in the terminal and press enter)

If already downloaded then you might need to load the extension.  You can use "Apps > Load App Locally" to accomplish this or from the terminal enter this command:   

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i wifi to load wifi.tcz and all it's dependencies, then

Code: [Select]

sudo wifi.sh to launch it with root privileges

note:  In most cases typing the extension name without the .tcz will usually help

In TC;  all applications are managed using tcz archives

I recommend reading the core concepts and the core book
