title: Make - Make Install and Linux update
body: <p>I am trying my hands new on Linux.</p>
  
  <p>The following command is very useful:
      <code>sudo apt-get install &lt;application&gt;;</code></p>
  
  <p>As it adds the application into the linux programs list and automatically upgrades it while running the update manager.</p>
  
  <p>But I would like to get more knowledge on installing the programs from the .tar.gz archives as well.</p>
  
  <p>So I do:
      Extract the archive
      <code>./configure;</code>
      <code>make;</code>
      <code>make install;</code></p>
  
  <p>I have two questions in this process:
  1) I read in the forum that "make install" is not good if we are updating the binaries.
  So should I just do "make" and the "install" ?
  2) Second question is that is there a way to add the program installed in such manner to the Linux Software Update list so that I do not have to use the terminal for every new version that is released</p>
