/I would like to find out if Gnugo will install directly, without
complications, on my computer. I am an advanced beginner at Go
but even more of a beginner when it comes to computer tech. I
have a desktop computer, running Linux Mint v. 17 ('Rosa', 64
bit) and Firefox v. 43. Both are the current versions. I would
like to not have to get involved with emulators, compilers,
special installers, binaries, and so on, and would need
installation directions that are expressed in simple, non-jargon-y
steps. I do realize that this may be a rather naive request, but
I would appreciate learning if what I want is possible, and would
be grateful for your reply.//
//Thanks,//

*Clark: My computer is not a commercial brand. It was built for me as a
dedicated Linux machine by a friend, from components he sourced, so that
I could run email, internet stuff, office apps, etc. using a Linux
operating system without any Microsoft, Windows, etc. involvement.*
/There are packages that can be used to make this easier.//
/*It would be great if we could get Gnugo installed and running.*
/Are you looking to use a graphical application with Gnugo as the
engine, or do just need Gnugo itself?//
/*I don't understand the question, I'm afraid. In everyday language, I
just want Gnugo, period.*
/If you have such an application, which one is it?//
/*I may have such an application, but I don't know how to find this
out or to identify it if I do.*
/Do you have Java installed? (Mostly to help with details of the
instructions.)//
/*Don't know. When I type 'Java' in the query box of the Linux Main
Menu, it refers me to 'Pidgin Internet Messenger'. That, in turn,
produces a message saying I have no IM accounts configured that I can
connect to, and goes on to tell me how to start connecting with Pidgin.*

*CLARK - MANY THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE. SORRY MY ANSWERS TO YOUR
QUESTIONS ARE SO LOW-LEVEL. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO ACHIEVE IS TO BE ABLE
TO CLICK ON AN ICON OR A LINK THAT WILL OPEN GNUGO AND LET ME PLAY. FOR
YOUR INFO, IT WAS DAVID FOTLAND WHO SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT YOU TO SEE
IF YOU COULD BE OF HELP WITH A **DIRECT INSTALL ON A LINUX SYSTEM.
