The program 'samba' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install samba4

This is the message I get when I type samba in the terminal. Samba appears to be installed in Sotware Center

Thanks for your interest in my problem. I finally have it up and running.

I was using sudo apt-get install samba on the terminal. The terminal would then suggest installing samba4. I used sudo apt-get install smbd and everything was relatively ok. I still had trouble sharing folders but so far it seems to be working if I use "smb://computername.local/filename
