problem downloading programs from the internet

Post by cisco98 »

I have been using linux mint for a month and I have encountered a problem, I am unable to download programs from the internet as with windows.
when I try to download a program it makes me download the executable (of a few kb) and when I try to install, it doesn't let me install it.
(the programs i need are not available in the linux store)
help is urgent. thanks :cry:

You have to give specific examples. We dont know anything from what you say.
If I have helped you solve a problem, please add [SOLVED] to your first post title, it helps other users looking for help.
