   Most FOSS install instructions:

   Have a dedicated box with your favorite Linux Distro and these 100 dependencies.

   Then, run these commands....oh, *how* to install those dependencies, you ask?

   Fuck if I know! Figure it out yourself.

   Good luck! :kek:

     @BeAware That's inaccurate. Your distro's package manager will resolve dependencies of packages installed from the repositories maintained by that distro and any others you may have installed.

     That's how it works.

     If you're grabbing something from Github or some other source code site not intended for mainstream use, that, of course, can't happen.
