I 'git clone https://github.com/gokcehan/lf.git' then got the 'lf/' with all the files.Afterwards I 'cd lf/' and used the command 'make install' with nothing more.
What did I do wrong?

If you can't get the source to build, you can download the pre-compiled binaries here: https://github.com/gokcehan/lf/releases ... d64.tar.gz

Re: How to 'make install' a cloned repository?
In this instance, you're in luck. The tar archive only contains (1) file - lf. Just move it somewhere that's in your path - I'd recommend $HOME/bin or /usr/local/bin - then run it. I tested this on my LM 20 system and it works.JustTrying2 wrote: ⤴Sat Apr 17, 2021 1:41 pmWhat would I do then to install it(remembering I have no flatpak)?ajgringo619 wrote: ⤴Sat Apr 17, 2021 1:37 pm If you can't get the source to build, you can download the pre-compiled binaries here: https://github.com/gokcehan/lf/releases ... d64.tar.gz

Re: How to 'make install' a cloned repository?
'make install' is a set of instructions the programmer needs to add to the Makefile so the package can be installed after it's compiled; this has nothing to do with Mint.JustTrying2 wrote: ⤴Sat Apr 17, 2021 2:12 pm <snip>
