I would like to download a programme (opencpn) onto my laptop which is
running debian. It is so long since I have done this I can not
remember how to start. Also I am not sure which version of debian I
have which seems to be relevant according to the website. Instructions
are given at xxxxxxxxx [1].
Any advice would be very much appreciated. Steve
Links:

You can use 'uname -a ' to see what version of Debian
you have.
However, you also might want to read this:
https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian
It is not a good idea to be using ubunto ppa's like
the instructions say on the link you posted.
As far as installing Debian packages goes, there is
plenty of documentation on that:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianPackageManagement
If you really need this program, and the source code
is available, you can follow the instructions here:
https://wiki.debian.org/CreatePackageFromPPA
But it still something, personally I would not
recommend.
