I'm really new to Linux, Ubuntu and all related things. My question is that can I use a unix-based program on Ubuntu as well?

I installed neo4j on Kali Linux from this link and using this unix.tar.gz file to install it on my Kali linux. My question is that can I use the same file to install neo4j on Ubuntu as well?

  • And how is unix related to your question? unix is not linux. – Pilot6 Mar 31 '20 at 10:31
  • @Pilot6 I was confused about these terms, I thought unix is related to Linux – Pablo Mar 31 '20 at 10:35
  • UNIX is proprietary which is why the GNU (Gnu is Not Unix) operating system was created (with strong resemblances). Then came the Linux kernel forming GNU/Linux. – Jeryosh Mar 31 '20 at 10:41
  • Does this answer your question? [How do I install a .tar.gz (or .tar.bz2) file?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/25961/how-do-i-install-a-tar-gz-or-tar-bz2-file) – karel Mar 31 '20 at 13:28

Although there is "unix" in the file name, this is for Linux. Kali Linux and Ubuntu are both Linux and in fact, this should works on any Linux distribution. You can use it on Ubuntu.
