HOW TO INSTALL A PROGRAM ON LINUX

download software on linux
google software
only on cnet as author website no longer exists
slow as shit
downloads third-party downloader script that tries to install spyware on my PC
downloads .sh installer to the home directory automatically, doesn't even let me choose
click through installer
sudo prompts
remember to uncheck 'please don't not abstain from downloading busybox!' or some shit
progarm finally installs
you must restart your computer for installation to complete
fuck that, ignore it
program doesn't work
restart
program still doesn't work
'this application's side-by-side configuration is incorrect' or some obscure error
spend a while googling for answer
eventually figure out I have to download an old edition of the glibc or libpng or some shit that was a prerequisite but wasn't bundled with the software
go to gnu website
download it
this program needs to restart your computer
fuck it, i'm not taking any chances
restart
linux is installing updates (12/117), do not turn off your computer
finally reboots
open program
still doesn't work
