    @Pablo-J-Rogina My Unix days were 40 years ago. I had no problem when I installed qt about three years ago.

      Where did you put that file ?
      Move to that folder first and then execute the commands.

            bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~ $ cd bobwilliams\download
            bash: cd: bobwilliamsdownload: No such file or directory
            bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~ $

              You really should take the time to learn how a unix command line works. Use forward slashes.

                @SGaist I know that, too many years doing OS2 and Windows.

                I cd to home, but cannot get to bobwilliams/download.

                bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux /home $ cd /bobwilliams
                bash: cd: /bobwilliams: No such file or directory
                bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux /home $

                It is the Mint directory structure that is getting me.

                  @ofmrew said in Mint Linux open source install:

                  cd /bobwilliams

                  / is the top level folder.

                  If you want to enter a folder within the one you are in, either use ./ before the name of the folder or just the folder.

                        There have been some issues lately with the cloud provider hosting the machines for the distribution so you may been hit by a fluk. Try again.

                            You might be getting a bad mirror. Try manually selecting a different mirror to download from: https://wiki.qt.io/Online_Installer_4.x#Selecting_a_mirror_for_opensource

                                    @JKSH It looks like all of the mirrors are for windows. I need linux.

                                      The mirrors are for Windows AND Linux AND macOS...

                                          Navigate up the "Parent Directory" a few times.

                                          There is no such thing as a "Windows mirror" or a "Linux mirror". Each mirror contains files for Windows AND Linux AND macOS.

                                          Did you look closely at the examples shown in the Wiki?
