Yes, this is the simple kiss-of-life guide to breathing fire into your computer’s motherboard with software you previously thought impossible to get installed. The installation methods demonstrated are: Building Source-Code into an External Directory.I use Linux Mint, a flavor of Ubuntu which is based on Debian so the commands and methods I will demonstrate here will be based around Debian. But first, here is a guide to properly installing and uninstalling software into a Linux system. It took two days for me to realize I could fix Apt with just one magic command, which I’ll come to before the end of this article. “AAAAARRRRGHGGGHGGHEEGHGHHGH!” Is the exact sound I made when Apt screwed up during a distribution upgrade and left me with 208 installable-but-not-gonna-be-installed packages, 2 removable-but-ain’t-gonna-do-it packages, 16 upgradeable ones that rolled their eyes at me for two days while I tried to figure out how to get past the gigantic horned gatekeeper that blew flames and shook its double edged battle axe at me every time I tried to log in to KDE (little did he know I’d got gnome installed too so I snook past where he wasn’t looking). A couple of days ago I was stuck down with a couple of those convoluted and very painful installation methods…. Most of those methods are as easy as fishing for piranhas with a horse for bait – it’s quick and painless (for the fisherman, absolute nightmare for the horse) and a few of them are as enjoyable as listening to your tone deaf sister do karaoke without a background track – it goes on for ever and ever and ever and causes your ears to close shop and move to another body. A couple of years of experience have taught me there are many ways to install software into Linux.
