Question / Help Help for the absolute noob to this

[ladyqonimvu]

I know that the instructions for install in Linux are present in the forums .. but how about a from scratch install video on doing it for the noob?
There are a lot on using it but none on actually getting it and installing , except for windows 7 or 8 non for Linux systems .

I mean one that goes from start up of a Linux system thru the proper steps of getting the files, prepping a file "folder" to actually installing it .

a new user to Linux may find it daunting to try .. i am changing to Linux myself so this would be helpful to more than just me . Not everyone is an experienced user .

Thank you

Which version of Linux? The only Linux I've installed OBS on is Ubuntu 14.04 using the instructions dodgepong posted here. If you need, I can make a video of that. I didn't prep a folder or anything. I just accepted the default install.

i have mint (cinnamon) 17 , and Ubuntu 14.04 Look on you tube .. EVERY how to install is Windows or Mac. not one for Linux systems .. .

Have you not read my guide? It is just 4 commands, and that is it. Do you need a video of someone typing in those 4 commands?

I too have Mint 17 (XFCE) and the four commands mentioned are all you need. There really is nothing more to it.
But if you want more complete instructions:

* Start up your PC by hitting the power button.
* Wait until the system is done loading.
* Log into your system with the user you normally log in with.

* Open a terminal from either the Cinnamon equivalent of the applications menu, or by (possibly) hitting alt+F2 and typing 'terminal', then hitting <enter>.

* In the terminal that has hopefully opened, enter the first of the four commands (don't forget to hit enter).
* Read the response carefully and press the appropriate responding key on your keyboard.

* Now enter the second command and hit enter.
* Again, read the response carefully and press the appropriate responding key on your keyboard.

* Now enter the third command, enter again.
* Apt-get update doesn't require any input so you can just let that run until it returns the command prompt.

* The finally, enter the fourth command and hit the enter button again.
* Finally, read the response carefully again and press the appropriate responding key on your keyboard.

That's it. OBS is now installed and you can start it from your aforementioned applications menu.

Only a tiny bit of sarcasm was used in this post. I understand that people may have difficulties with command line tasks, but honestly, if you want to use linux in any capacity, you will _have_ to learn basic things like this.

I'm running Mint 17 with KDE and used the same commands dodgepong posted. I believe it was placed in the Multimedia section of my programs list.
