I am using Ubuntu 11.10. I have downloaded Bitcoin-Qt, but I don't think it has installed itself. The instructions say "download and install" the software, but I'm afraid I need instructions that are a little more specific. If you can tell me how to install the software it would be greatly appreciated.

1If you guys don't even know basic package management of Ubuntu, maybe you should read up on that. It is essential. – meshfields – 2013-11-18T10:29:52.880
When I put in that second line of jibberish I get this: E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/ E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? donnie@donnie-amdnew:~$
I frequently run into the permission problem. Apparently, in Ubuntu, you have to get permission to do anything. – Donnie Love – 2012-01-19T19:12:17.187

You need to be more specific. Where did you get the software from? What steps have you done? etc – Peter – 2012-01-19T16:15:22.633
I got the software from this website (bitcoin.org). I downloaded it, but I'm not very knowledgeable about Ubuntu or programming. I found one page that gave me a string of magic jibberish to put in the DOS window, which I did, but it seemed to have no effect. – Donnie Love – 2012-01-19T16:48:10.840
You're on bitcoin.stackexchange.com now, not bitcoin.org. I've edited your question to be more meaningful. – Meni Rosenfeld – 2012-01-19T19:11:49.680
