I'm having a bit of trouble installing a tar file, specifically the Apollo project by ClassicOldSong on GitHub. I'm using Zorin OS and could use some guidance here. Any tips on how to properly install it?

Yeah, I've got the tar file extracted too, but then what? The readme and GitHub page didn't really tell me what the next steps are!
You might want to try installing Moonlight from your package repos! But honestly, if you need step-by-step help, this project might not be the simplest for beginners to start with.
I hear you! I tried Sunshine before and had a rough time. I just want to get Apollo going, but I'm stuck after extracting that tar file.
Using git commands would give you a clean download, but remember, a tar file is just an archive. If it's source code inside, you're looking at needing to compile and install it after extraction—it's not quite as straightforward as just installing something. Good luck tracking down those installation docs!
Check out the installation tips linked in our wiki! Also, it’s recommended to perform installations over an ethernet connection and make sure to remove any boot media afterward. Good luck! 😊
Haha, yeah, I've tackled lots of installs via git without a problem, but this Apollo thing has me stumped too! I just can't find any concrete install docs, which is frustrating.
