When a newer version of a application only is possible for download directly from a webpage, this procedure is suggested: 1) Install the required packages. 2) Download the wanted application-package. 3) Unpack them 4) Compile. Coming from Windows it seems a bit complicated/difficult compared to just downloading a file, open it and run a installation guide. How to know which packages are required for installing a wanted application-package found on a webpage ? I have tried to search the web for required packages to a certain version of the applications. But I haven't have any luck finding a webpage that describes this. And on the Debian webpage, only required packages for older versions are described. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
