Many thanks Clark &
Gonçalo for your followup to my question about installing
gnugo on my Linux system. I found the Synaptic Package
Manager, and 5 packages. One was gccgo-aarch64-linux-gnu
(v. 4:4 8-2-1, the gnu go compiler), a second was gnugo
(v.3.8-7, "play the game of Go"), and a third was qgo (Go
client and full featured SGF editor"). I can mark any of
these, or either of two more packages, but I don't know
which one to choose, or how to apply the package once selected.
It looks as though whichever one I choose I will have to
agree to install about 20 helper files of some sort, none of
which I recognize. When I tried to relpeat this action by
starting again with the Package Manager, only two packages
appeared on the selection list, gnugo and qgo. On the
Package Manager screen where one makes a choice, terms
appear for certain packages, none of which I understand --
I do not know what a dependency package is, or a
cross-compiler, or arm64 architecture, etc. Your advice as
to how to get unstuck and move ahead with this would be
appreciated. Also, is it correct that I will not be able to
get a graphical version, but only a text version? Back when
I used Windows (which I do not want to go back to) I played
on Many Faces, which I found excellent. Once again, many
thanks for your help.
