i just downloaded xampp from the site .while downloading i saved the file.I tried to install it using the command given in site tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.5.3a.tar.gz -C /opt.But it is not installing.

Instead it gives a message like this
tar (child): xampp-linux-1.5.3a.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Is somebody has any suggestions?It is very urgent.

That syntax is incorrect:

Use this:

tar xzf xampp-linux-1.5.3a.tar.gz -C /opt
