You're missing the point. The OS version you'll need to install - Mint 18.x - does not get updates anymore (died in April of this year).

Re: Issues trying to install tar.gz files
I'm thinking you need a minus sign in front of 'xvf', so the command is:
Nitroshare ver 0.3.3-1 is in the LM19.3 Software Manager.
Code: Select all
tar -xvf nitroshare-0.3.4.tar.gz

Right at the bottom of the page is this link for build instructions: https://github.com/nitroshare/nitroshare-desktop/wiki.

That PPA is only for older versions of Ubuntu: From the website:
"Versions of Ubuntu prior to 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) include an outdated version of CMake and therefore you will need to add the following PPA before installing CMake"
