You can still tell us basic things like "I downloaded the file from this URL", and use ls -l to show us the downloaded filename sitting somewhere in your $HOME directory. > I > did finally figured out how to get ./sat to work and completely cleaned up > all of the missing pieces.

Yikes. That directly contradicts the information from the web site's FAQ. Unless of course you downloaded a different file than the one it was documenting. HOW did you get it to work, then, if it isn't a program that can be run? > I have no idea what to do with this. Read the files named README and INSTALL. Oh wait, the latter is a directory instead of a file. If README doesn't answer your questions, look inside the INSTALL directory, and try to find something inside it that you can read. If those still don't answer your questions, find a mailing list that knows this program. Or a web forum, or whatever it is they use for support. > I'm using a standard debian 11 > installation with KDE desk top if that helps. Yes, that information will be relevant if you end up asking a Salome support entity for help.
