Every open source software for Linux has the same guide >install

calm down killer your colors are showing

That's bs

At list one person on the forums won't be a dick and ask you to rtfm

Yes. Deploying software reliably on Linux is a PITA.

This is what I am really complaining about. I have to setup nginx, but there isn't really shit about setting this up.

How about no.

RTFM OP or go back to plebshit OS.

Ahh one of those "works for me :)" guys
It's still is broken even if you use Linux only for anime and web

Stuff starts working a whole lot better after you read documentation.

You can't excuse yourself with the "doesn't work for me" meme. It's a package manager, delivers software in only one way. Manual is the same for everyone.

If you can't configure nginx to your particular usecase, it's just you who are a pleb, not the software who doesn't work on your machine.

>>52513572
look man most software minus package managers is ./configure && make && make install. make your own binaries if ya want, theres more documentation on linux then any other system for sure. man, info, wiki's, all sorts of boards and shit too. You just gotta know what you want.

This is because you are trying to use a 1995 style of installing shit.
Those instructions are meant for the people who maintain a distro's software repository. Those dependent apps tend to be a compiler and some build tools. The people those instructions are meant for make an archive that you can install very simply by using your package manager.
Us mortals then download and install the package with apt/pacman/zypper/portage/whatever.
You're concept of installing software is rooted in the Windows world where you search for an application in a search engine, go to its home page, download an installer and run it. This method is considered a last resort chore if everything else fails in Linux. It will probably fail, too because the package manager method is much more idiot-proof.
Have fun learning to use a Linux distro. It's not always the same as Windows because it wouldn't be any better then.

IT JUST WERKS GUZZZZ

>can't into compiling

lel

>>52514940
Nigger, you already had nano installed

>>52513426
Why do you pin it on the dev if it's you who's breaking packages?
The guide covers 20% because it's well known that 80% of all problems is OSI layer 8

>>52514940
>command literally tells you what command to run to fix the problem
You are embarassingly thick.

>>52514940
mips ? wth are you running ?
also: apt-get update

>>52516700
Hipster shit probably.

Also are packages still updated on Squeeze? That shit is ancient.

Just werks

If you could just type in the name of a program to install it and have backups, an automated uninstallation method, and a way to select the version, I doubt you wouldn't use it.
