Thank you for this. Huge fan of installing through terminal whenever possible.
Quickest way indeed. Added this site to my favorites right away while I am a newbee as user of Ubuntu / Linux. Already learned a lot using the sudo commands (for example how to copy and paste … ).
After I copied and pasted the first line and hit enter, it ask for sudo password. How can I solve this?
Type in your password or just leave blank if you dont hav 1
Same for me Luis. Asks for sudo password but will not let me add text or leave blank.
sudo is simplier version of sudoku, like 2d sudoku.
thanks a bunch for the tutorial.
