Re: [orca-list] help with install

[Janina Sajka <janina a11y org>]

It's pointless to attempt to install TTSynth until you've installed its
dependencies. That's the meaning of the word "dependency." TTSynth
depends on those applications' presence.

You can obtain those dependencies through standard, Internet based,
procedures using the apt-get command. However, I don't run Debian or
Ubuntu systems here, so I'm not the person to advise you on that. Please
ask the list for brief help using apt-get to install packages, or look
that up via Google. If you're machine is correctly configured--which is
where my help will fail--it will be as simple a task as a command like:

apt-get install [package]
