Trying to download Proton VPN

swlq · 12-21-2023, 08:11 PM

Hello,

I am having trouble downloading Proton VPN. Their website has 4 steps, but I am stuck on step number two (https://protonvpn.com/support/offici...ntu-vpn-setup/).
Step 2 says:
Open a terminal window, cd into your ~/Downloads directory and run the following:

sudo dpkg --install protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.3-2_all.deb
I have know idea how to "cd into my Downloads directory", but I do know how to find my terminal lol!

Thank you very much for anyone able to help. I am super new to Linux.

Type in "cd ~/Downloads"

You can try using your file manager to go there and click on on the file. Your desktop manager should be able to run the dpkg tool to install it.
