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

Why do you think sudo is needed?

@ofmrew said in Mint Linux open source install:
@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?
