Newbie unable to install NoMachine on Linux Mint 22

[mick]

I have downloaded NoMachine and attempted to install NoMachine on Linux Mint 22

The commands I used and the responses were as below

m@AZpro:~$ wget https://download.nomachine.com/download/8.11/Linux/nomachine_8.14.2-1_amd64.deb

Errors were encountered while processing:

several attempts were made with different versions of NoMachine with the same result.

Please show me where I have gone wrong

Thanks

Hi, there are some similar topics asking the same question about using a static url. Take a look at:

thanks for your help Britgirl.
I could not get it to work with the .deb package
Errors said it was not a valid .deb file

Fixed it by downloading the tar file –
Quite a struggle to copy, extract and install for me as I’ve only used Windows for the last 30 years!
Linux is great if you don´t have to install from the terminal :o)
