Trying to install VPN and these are the instructions Mullvad is giving me. This is ridiculous. There must be a more simple way. I know how to follow the instructions but I have no idea what I’m doing here. Can’t I just download a file and install it? I’m on Ubuntu.

Your analogy makes a lot of sense. I think that knowledge will be useful. Thanks.

I realized there’s quite a bit more metadata that a package provides to its package management system. Here’s an example package definition, in the programming language Ruby: https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_bot/blob/main/factory_bot.gemspec
It defines, among other things:
- author
- license
- dependencies
- version
- name
- description
- link to project webpage
