I do not have any experience with these distributions but if they truly have 
roots in Debian and remain mostly compatible then I believe it is simply a task 
of using apt (terminal) or something like Synaptic (GUI).  As I am most 
comfortable with a terminal, here is one of numerous ways to install orca with 
its dependencies.

Launch a terminal or find a virtual console and when you have a command prompt, 
type:

        sudo apt install orca

If you get apt not found then use sudo apt-get instead install orca

It should list what will be downloaded and an estimate of size of storage 
needed and a question if you wish to continue, type y and press ENTER.

Hoping all things are ready for using a screen reader then it may be as simple 
as rebooting or turning orca on in the GUI.

Sadly, these details vary quite a bit across brands of GUI and distributions.  
Hope this helps, and if not quite right then look at the documentation for the 
system you will be using.

Subject: Orca?

Hi,

I’m wanting to install orca on either/and Whonix and TAILS. These are 
Debian-based and as such only need to download orca and its few dependencies, 
correct? I need to have instructions as short as possible to have a sighted 
friend do the install. I think this is what I should do. 

Instead of separately downloading each file and they needed dependency, not 
that there are many, but would it be possible to add a repository containing 
orca (Ubuntu) and then just running, “apt install orca”. 

Thank you in advance,

-Reece
