Trying to install VPN and these are the instructions Mullvad is giving me. This is ridiculous. There must be a more simple way. I know how to follow the instructions but I have no idea what I’m doing here. Can’t I just download a file and install it? I’m on Ubuntu.

    Thanks for the explanation. However trying to run the first command gives me sudo: curl: command not found

    So I’m stuck right there in the first step lol

      You have two options: install curl (check @TrickDacy@lemmy.world’s comment) or do it manually. Installing curl is the easiest.

      If you want to do it the hard way (without the terminal), here’s how:

      1. Download the file https://repository.mullvad.net/deb/mullvad-keyring.asc from your web browser.
      2. Open your file browser as administrator. There’s probably some link for that in the Menu.
      3. Move the file that you just downloaded to the directory /usr/share/keyrings/

        Really appreciate your replies dude. So many are being a bit of an jerks here, but you (and few other) have been really helpful.

          You’re welcome.

          I think that people being jerks take for granted how confusing this might be, if you’re new; we (people in general) tend to take vocab that we already know for granted, as well as solutions for small problems. …except that it doesn’t work when you’re starting out, and we all need to start out somewhere, right.

      Wow, interesting. You may be able to install curl to fix that like this:

      sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install curl

      Can’t hurt to try
