I have installed Ubuntu 15.10 desktop on a machine in preparation for installing the newly released Bitcoin Unlimited software (see http://www.bitcoinunlimited.info/software). However, I don't see any setup instructions describing what to do after downloading http://www.bitcoinunlimited.info/downloads/bitcoinUnlimited-0.11.2-linux64.tar.gz. What folder(s) should the content be extracted to and how am I supposed to configure and run the software?
How to install and configure Bitcoin Unlimited (on Ubuntu 15.10 desktop)

From the looks of it, the archive's structure is such that you would be able to unpack it in the root directory of your system, and then run the executables as any user (e.g. from a personal account).
Since /bin is in a normal user's path usually, you should be able to just run the client (bitcoin-qt), which would presumably create the .bitcoin directory in the usual home directory of the user who is running it.
(Note: you might need to create ~/.bitcoin yourself if need be)
There is a daemon (bitcoind) which would be of interest if you are setting up to run a node.
You might find the script bitcoinAutoNode.sh from https://github.com/XertroV/BitcoinAutoNode to be useful if you're going to look at doing that.

Thank you for your answer.
Extraction not performed
You don't have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder "file:"
I am still looking for a simple step-by-step guide for installing Bitcoin Unlimited. Some of us don't come with a programming background.
If I attempt to extract the file to \ using the GUI tool Archive Manager I get this message:
Extraction not performed

The script seems to have been designed for bitcoinxt.

You need superuser (root) access on your Ubuntu box to install it in the root directory.
I'll assume you have that, so open a terminal as root, change to the root directory and unpack the archive using the 'tar' command:
You should see the files being extracted.
Close the root shell, and log in to your regular user account, create a .bitcoin subdirectory in your home directory.
You should be able to run the "bitcoin-qt" program, assuming /bin is in your PATH.
If not, you are probably still missing some packages on which the Bitcoin client depends.
You should see some error messages in that case though - please report them if you do.
About the script above: I pointed you to that not in order to simply run it, but to look at the commands it performs, to get an idea of what you might need to install on Ubuntu in terms of prerequisites.
Of course, it's geared to compiling a Bitcoin client from source, but some of the instructions might still be useful in general.
I'm sure the BitcoinUnlimited project will provide better links to information soon.
Bitcoin Unlimited builds largely on the same code that BitcoinXT and Bitcoin Core does, so they have very similar installation requirements and procedures.
Surprisingly, the page at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Help:Installing_Bitcoin_Core does not have any information on installing on Linux in general or Ubuntu specifically. A difference in Bitcoin Core is that there is are Ubuntu packages for it, making it a bit easier to install.
I'll assume you have that, so open a terminal as root, change to the root directory and unpack the archive using the 'tar' command:
Code:
# cd /
# tar -xv --strip-components=1 -f /path/to/bitcoinUnlimited-0.11.2-linux64.tar.gzClose the root shell, and log in to your regular user account, create a .bitcoin subdirectory in your home directory.

That was what I needed. To get root access I started by entering this command in a terminal:
sudo gnome-terminal
Then I used your commands from that new root terminal.

You're welcome, and thank you for posting the output of the commands so that others can see.
I didn't have the resources to run up an Ubuntu machine myself, but I'm happy it worked.
I'll add to what theZerg said above about normally installing it in your user's home directory.
That is the correct approach to take on a Linux system, because by installing software in the way you did just now (downloading a binary, installing it as root) can actually damage your system if something goes wrong. Whereas installing it in your home directory you would usually only put your own home data at risk, unless you run it with elevated privileges (i.e. using sudo or similar).
However, when installing something like this in your home directory, you would need to add ~/bin to your PATH or type in ~/bin/bitcoin-qt to run the program.
And it also unpacked files under a "lib/" subdirectory, so these would end up under your home directory, ~/lib. You would then need to tell your system, by configuring LD_LIBRARY_PATH, that it also needs to look in your ~/lib folder to find any libraries that your self-installed program needs, otherwise it would refuse to run. So, that's what theZerg meant when he wrote "muddle" - there's a little more effort to keep things nicely contained under your home directory. It doesn't really matter if it's just a test system, but if you are going to administrate this system for a longer time, it pays dividends in terms of security.

Note to other linux guys, how about these for instructions:
Download the file and then open a terminal window. Type:
tar xvf ~/Downloads/bitcoinUnlimited-0.11.2-linux64.tar.gz
cd bitcoinUnlimited-0.11.2/bin/
nohup ./bitcoin-qt &
@freetrader, it seems to work fine for me without dealing with LD_LIBRARY_PATH...

@theZerg
I think your simplified installation instructions for Linux are a good start.
Perhaps later packages based on existing Ubuntu templates etc. could make for easier installation & upgrade for some folks.
According to a quick check using ldd(1), libbitcoinconsensus.so is not required by any of the binaries, so there is indeed no need to fiddle with the library path.
Reading the release notes where it was introduced suggests it is only an interface for external programs and language bindings. I had always assumed they had factored that the consensus stuff out into a dynamic library which is also used by the daemon / GUIs, but it turns out I was mistaken...

2015-12-24 11:43:36 Corruption: block checksum mismatch
2015-12-24 11:43:36 *** System error while flushing: Database corrupted
After pressing okay I get the message that Bitcoin Unlimited is shutting down.
I have some screen dumps in a Writer document but they are bigger than 100K. Not allowed to upload.

@steffen, it looks like this issue, which is not specific to Bitcoin Unlimited:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/6528
I would run a thorough disk and memory check on the machine to exclude hardware errors, and try to re-index as some people in that thread have found it to work eventually.
I think the command would be: bitcoin-qt -reindex -par=1

Thank you. I think I have worked around it. Reboot. Restart Bitcoin Unlimited. Now only 8 days behind.
I found this in another thread:
I used the tool near the bottom of the of the page to check if my Bitcoin client was currently accepting incoming connections from other nodes. Result:
188.183.147.187:8333 is unreachable.
My pc is behind a Netgear box from my ISP. I have tried setting up some port forwarding (and later something called port triggering) but that doesn't change anything. Either that is not working or I need to do something else to receive incoming connections. Any ideas?
There now seem to be 22 nodes but I couldn't see my own Bitcoin Unlimited listed.
