[FM Discuss] next steps on Audacity book

[Maren Hachmann]

Wow, yes. That chapter is weird, and looks rather outdated. The normal
way would be to visit the software center or whatever they call it (I
think it has a shopping bag as an icon, and is available right on the
default desktop), enter the search term 'audacity', then select it from
the list and click on 'install'... Looks a lot fancier than synaptic
(which is still available, though).

Or to just open a terminal and type the one-liner
sudo apt-get install audacity
then enter your password, when asked for it.

With Ubuntu 16.04, this will currently give you Audacity 2.1.2-1, not
sure what the most current version is, but I'm sure there's also a ppa,
or a flatpak, or a snap. Or all of those (and they will have the most
recent version, and might even be available in the software center by
default - I'm on Linux Mint, so things are a tiny bit different, but I
regularly start Ubuntu in a virtual machine for trying stuff out).
