"makedeb.sh: No such file or directory" while installing Back in Time

Clearly I'm a Linux sub-rookie...

All I'm trying to do is to install "Back in Time".

According to the developer's web site I am to type the following commands:

./makedeb.sh

sudo dpkg -i backintime-common-<version>.deb

sudo dpkg -i backintime-gnome-<version>.deb

sudo dpkg -i backintime-notify-<version>.deb

Source: in the README file, in the installer package at: http://backintime.le-web.org

Problem is when I enter just the fist line, it replies saying:

makedeb.sh: No such file or directory

I also typed sudo just in case, without avail :(

Can someone help me?

You would be better off using this PPA: ppa:bit-team/stable Launchpad logo .

Run these commands in a Terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bit-team/stable

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install backintime-gnome backintime-notify

The advantages over installing from a .tar.gz file are that:

Automatic updates via Ubuntu's Software Updater.

Installation system-wide, and including a .desktop launcher.
