--- Comment #5 from Thomas Baumgart <tbaumg...@kde.org> --- One of the challanges we devs face is the level of knowledge of our users. This varies to the most extremes you can think of: on one hand there is the novice user who knows how to turn on a computer and then knowledge pretty much ends and on the other hand there is the pro who might be a dev or admin himself. Writing instructions which serve all of them equally well is kind of hard. So we usually write something the other person might get along with knowing that sometimes it's not enough and sometimes boring as hell. Usually, questions regarding user support are much better suited for the forum at https://forum.kde.org/viewforum.php?f=69 just in case you need to follow up on this entry here, please do it there. The file you downloaded (kmymoney-5.0.8.tar.xz) is the bare source code tree in a compressed container format. This is the most complicated version for you to get a running application. My advice: throw it away. It will not be recognized by synaptic as you have already found out. So no way without additionally installing compilers, libraries, frameworks etc. and then building the thing from scratch. It's like building the house before moving in, but you only want to move in. The best way to get started is using the AppImage version. Visit https://kmymoney.org/appimage.html and follow the instructions there. In case they are not sufficient or you still have problems, please contact us on the forum. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
