What difference does it make anyway? (pun not intended)

you're trying to do #6 it seems.

(not recommended unless you're very advanced user, or very desperate for the app)

  • not recommended because it's complex, not user-friendly, and hard to uninstall too.
#

"make" compiles code.

#

idk what "make install" does.

i think it first compiles then installs to where you want

i can only say use the author's recommended commands. Also google anything you're unsure of to see if it is malicious code/command or not, based on what other articles say
