on the first link, scroll to the very bottom, there is the link to the pdf documentation.

For Linux it is very much dependant which version/distribution you are using. For Ubuntu for example you need to install the correct repository and then install the darktable version from that repository. I am running a dt 3.0 on an Ubuntu 18.04 workstation. No need to compile anything.

I am sorry to appear very stupid, but I can find no PDF in the first referenced link at github.

And to appear even more stupid, I cannot find what I would call an installable version of DT 3.0.0 for use with Linux. I have no idea what a tarball is, but I think that what I would get, were I able to download it, is the source code. This is of no use to me: after trying repeatedly over more than 10 years I have never once successfully compiled a linux app, for very clear reasons: there are ALWAYS mistakes in the contents of the source package, or the developer has made assumptions about the environment of my system which are not valid, or I cannot understand the process (which is usually not defined) or some unexpected error occurs, with a resulting error message which is totally foreign to me. Is there not some sort of readily accessible repository for DT 3.0.0 which I can access? If this is not available (because it represents too much work), then it is to difficult for me too. I am a user of DT, not a developer.

Further more, the referenced link to github has, at that location, a linkĀ  to another location from which should be able to download the source - except that this link merely references itself, so I never find the code for DT 3.0.0 or the PDF which describes the application.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks to Matt Maguire for building a script to build the documentation
we are now in better shape to build it.

So I have created the PDF which can be downloaded here:
https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/tag/release-3.0.0

And the online documentation has also been updated for 3.0:

https://darktable.gitlab.io/doc/index.html

All the links will soon be updated on darktable.org.

Note that the 3.0 documentation is not finalized yet.

Have a nice day!
