I want Tellico installed on my Ubuntu 17 machine but I can't find it in my installer. I had it on 16. I have a big Tellico data file. . . . Please?

Factual error: I never had 16. I DID have 14.? up until a day or two ago. And I DID have Tellico running on it.

sorry for th emistake.

There is no Ubuntu 17. It doesn't exist.

What is the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

Gee! It doesn't exist! And I installed it from a disk I bought from OS
Disc.com that's labelled Ubuntu 17.10.1. From now on I'll think of 17 as
my invisible OS. Thank you for your help, Sir.

Then you are running Ubuntu 17.10

Ubuntu 17 did never exist, but there was also a version 17.04

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for the different versions

And for your original question, what happens if you open a terminal window and execute the command

sudo apt install tellico

(Note: you will probably be asked to enter your password and will not see any feedback when typing)

It installed a whole buncha goop. Then it waited for a few minutes. Now
it's installing headers, whatever that means.

Thanks. I've been running some sort of Ubuntu on one machine or another
for about 5 years, now. I've never learned the command line. I got into
Ubuntu because it's mostly point-and-click. When point-and-click doesn't
get the job done, I don't know what to do. See I don't mind admitting
that. I'm a writer by profession and I never did programming. I worked
as a technical writer on mining and quarry equipment. I wrote service
and repair manuals on screens and crushers and other such big machinery.
I worked for more than a year writing refrigerators for a big
manufacturer. I'm a trained computer technician. The Marine Corps sent
me to Missile Electronics and Fire Distribution Systems Schools at Ft.
Bliss, TX. We learned to work on computers built by Hughes Aircraft and
fielded by the Army in 1956. They had no ram memories, no hdds, not much
of anything. We programmed with toggle switches. Computed our parallax
longhand. I had voice and data input (via microwave) from four missile
firing batteries, two radar sets, a Marine Air Control Squadron and
whoever the hell else wanted to call me up and chew me out. The good
news is that by creaky old wreck of a computer blew airplanes right out
of the sky. It was fun to watch. When I was at grad school (1993-97) I
bought my first PC. It was a big, snortin' 286 intel with 4 mb of RAM
and a 40 mb Seagate hdd that weighed about nine pounds. I had almost
learned DOS and would  have been expert in that if only we had used it
for a couple more years. I was a Microsoft Certified Expert in Windows
2000, which I still believe is the best windows those assholes ever
produced. At least it did what I told it to do and didn't try to pack
truckloads of advertising up my poor, tired backside. So today I'm 70
years old and trying to learn Ubuntu because I'm fed up with Windows 10,
having worked with it for a week, now. I wouldn't run it at all but I'm
addicted to WordPerfect.

You've got mine, now. What's Yours?

I've never been here before. Now you guys have fixed my problem -- Thank you very very very much -- and I don't know what to do next. Do I mark this thread as "solved" or something? How do I do that if I must do it? Let me know, please, and thanks again.

Myke.
