This is my first install of Linux mint. A neighbor fix up a computer for me and installed Linux Mint on it. Was a Windows user for many years and not accustomed to commands (sudo). The neighbor is an actual electrical engineer who worked for the navy and has a degree from Alabama University (I saw his diploma). He advised me to be careful using sudo commands and I now want to be, because he told me I had to learn this things myself and I agree.

On the previous computer I somehow got wine to recognize Styler, but forgot how I did it. I have wine installed, thanks to helps here and now need help doing Styler. The neighbor said check youtube, but be careful and I did it and found one that had a video on how with a sudo command.

This is what it said. Is it safe and proper? It sort of scares me to do, with expert comments.

Install DVD Styler in Linux Mint / Ubuntu via PPA :
Paste the following commands in you terminal :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/dvdstyler
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dvdstyler

Thanks

You do not need to install and run dvdstyler with wine.

Thanks, I didn't read what it said under Ubuntu, since I didn't see an installer link with it's name and got the windows one instead, not knowing sudo commands and wanting to avoid them when possible. Yeah, pretty dumb, but I'm so new to linux everything is difficult for me. Think I can trust the how to install and will follow their instructions.

thanks for the help...you see I am almost a total newbie, everything is new to me.

thanks


when it's working will click answered

Now how simple was that...lol

It's like how often do people say "Sure wish I had read the instructions"
hahahah

thanks....will click the solved button

Just clarifying things a bit. What threw me off was that styler website has linux listed and has source code, which I did not want and then said Ubuntu and then a tar file. Since I did not see a linux installer, got the win version. As said...wish I had read the Ubuntu link. It loaded find and getting ready to use it now. If I screwed up something I'll be back

thanks again
