Installing Mathematica's package in Linux

Question

I copied the package folder (ProPac, http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~hgk22/software/ProPac/ProPac.html) in $UserBaseDirectory/Applications in Linux mint. But when I called it by

<<ProPac`

the ouput is

Get::noopen: Cannot open ProPac`. >>
$Failed

I tried install it from File menu but appears the same error.

But in Windows OS I have no problem with installation of this package and using it.

Try calling the Needs function on the package while manually specifying the packages location. This will let you know whether their is an issue Import or not.
Is the file located somewhere where Mathematica can find it? Evaluate $Path to see where Mathematica is looking for files.

Just rename the kernel directory to Kernel.

Then it works.

Unix is case sensititve.
