Prerequisites

This method will work on all Linux distributions based on Debian. A few examples are Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, Kali Linux, MX Linux and many more.
In order to determine wether this method will work for you or not, run the command aptand see if you get any output. If it says something like “This apt has super-cow powers“ at the end of the output, you are good to go.

2. Click on the Debian download button
