Trying to install VPN and these are the instructions Mullvad is giving me. This is ridiculous. There must be a more simple way. I know how to follow the instructions but I have no idea what I’m doing here. Can’t I just download a file and install it? I’m on Ubuntu.

      How do you ensure you have the right dependencies if you do that?

        usually it’s an appimage, i mistakenly said binary. although there are programs that offer ELF binaries, in that case you can try running it. if it doesn’t run, check the list of runtime dependencies for the program and install what is necessary using your package manager.
