After 3 years is there a reason additional answers should be submitted? In the end an argument could be made it shouldn’t have been answered, question might also already exist, which it could be deleted or reclosed as a duplicate of a better more detailed question | |

The OP got his problem solved, and you got a little rep for your effort, but I still think the question, at least as-is, is a low-quality question, and basically not a good fit for the site. | |
| Mar 21, 2018 at 9:45 | comment | added | fixer1234 | We get a number of questions asking for a detailed tutorial on how to install XYZ. I don't think we want to be a tutorial repository for every application, and asking people to write them a tutorial isn't a good fit for the site. It's different if someone describes a specific issue in trying to install something. That OP alluded to experiencing problems, provided no specifics about anything, and asked for a tutorial. In this case, you were able to give a one-command answer. (cont'd) | |
