I have installed it using deb and sudo dpkg -i <package>. Any ideas on how with wget (post #1) for end users?

wget is a tool to download files. It cannot install anything.

Are we executing or installing when we do this below?

Code:

wget https://github.com/Splode/pomotroid.git
$chmod +x pomotroid
$sudo mv pomotroid  /usr/local/bin/
pomotroid

You did it right.

you do not need to install things to make them work. You have just downloaded something, moved to another location and executed. But it is not the official way to install it.

I recently became aware of this. I have not used it:
