Asked by

I'm having a bit of trouble installing a tar file on my Zorin OS system. I'm trying to set up Apollo from GitHub (the repository is ClassicOldSong/Apollo). If anyone has guidance on specifically how to install from a tar file, I'd really appreciate it!

You might want to check out some installation tips from the community wiki! It's always good to run your installs over an ethernet connection for stability, and don't forget to eject your installation media after you're done!

If you're struggling with the installation process, it might be easier to just use `git` to clone the project instead of dealing with the tar file. Just keep in mind that if itโs a source code archive, you'll need to compile it, which might not be beginner-friendly. Some projects may lack clear installation documentation, which can make things tricky if you're not experienced.

After extracting the tar file, things can get confusing. Make sure to check for a README or INSTALL file in the extracted folder; those usually provide steps on how to compile or install what's inside. If there's no clear guide, you might hit a wall since some projects assume you already know how to manage their installation process.
