That did it! Though a few typos along the way complicated some things... For future newbies such as me: Is it necessary to do anything after executing the install? I ended using an 'sudo apt-get update' (and maybe even a restart!) because things didn't work as planned - because of my typos. And I seem to remember reading somewhere that after doing some/all installs that you had to do something to let the system somehow register it had a new program installed. Anyway, after my muddling/typos, your command did what I needed.
Thanks for your help.
