I actually installed it from the github link given by Dinkypumpkin 
bearing in mind the warnings given in the installation instructions. But 
anyway, I sorted the problem (see my previous message which crossed with 
yours), based on sheer determination, albeit near total blindness (to 
things Linux).

Many thanks for the prompt replies to you, TQ and Mark Carroll!
