I just have a basic install of mint, and it uses sudo as root. My past experience is installing programs in the repository using software manager or using synaptic. Everything I have used to create a program used a .tar or .deb file system. One thing I have been trying to install is http://foundation.zurb.com/develop/download.html, thanks

So why are you asking here instead of following the directions and contacting them via the support page:

http://foundation.zurb.com/support/support.html

Can I also suggest that you read this:

And I'm confused by what you mean when you say "it uses sudo as root". You can login as root by using:

    sudo su

and then giving your password. Warning, this is extremely dangerous! As root you can completely screw your system. However, if it's your own install you can easily login as root.

OK, I've gone and had a look. Here:

  Create a directory for Zurb
  Change directory to the place you created
  Download the zipfile to somewhere
  Unzip the file
  Open the index.html file that was just created.
