Mint Linux open source install

@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.

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.

@SGaist I got to Setup - Qt. Logged into my account. At Welcome to open source setup I got Failure to fetch repositories. Now what?
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.

It gets to meta data download and it fails: Failure to fetch repositories. I will try it later.
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

- cmod only root! sudo chmod a+x ./qt-unified-linux-x64-4.0.1-online.run
- For run:
2.1. cd <to file directory>
2.2. Add "dot" + "slash": qt-unified-linux-x64-4.0.1-online.run -> ./qt-unified-linux-x64-4.0.1-online.run

sudo chmod a+x ./qt-unified-linux-x64-4.0.1-online.run
Why do you think sudo is needed?

@vladimir-litvinenko I got the failure to fetch when I tried the following:
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~ $ cd home
bash: cd: home: No such file or directory
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~ $ cd \home
bash: cd: home: No such file or directory
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~ $ cd /home
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux /home $ cd ./bobwilliams
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~ $ cd ./download
bash: cd: ./download: No such file or directory
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~ $ lsbobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~/Downloads $ chmod +x qt-unified-linux-x64-3.0.0-online.run
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~/Downloads $ ./qt-unified-linux-x64-3.0.0-online.run
QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it.
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~/Downloads $Do you know what mirror is good?
In case I have not say it before, I really appreciate everyone's help.

@JKSH It looks like all of the mirrors are for windows. I need linux.
The mirrors are for Windows AND Linux AND macOS...
The wiki says, "don't use the full path but use the path before '/online' (no forward slash at the end)"

@ofmrew said in Mint Linux open source install:
@JKSH No luck finding the linux mirrors.
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?
