People I'm at beginner level, so bare with me (or is it bear with me!?)

I am trying to install Mono onto a Debian VPS - I enter:
[CODE]
: cd
: wget http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/mono/mono-2.0.1.tar.bz2
: tar xf mono-2.0.1.tar.bz2
[/CODE]

And it tells me no such file exists yet when I list the files in the director they include 'mono-2.0.1.tar.bz2'

[CODE]
:cd
:ls
mono-2.0.1.tar.bz2  opensim  wget-log

:tar xf mono-2.0.1.tar.bz2
tar: bzip2: Cannot exec: No such file or directory

I think it is bzip2 that you are missing, rather than the tar file.

su
apt-get install bzip2
