I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS. I cannot find Frescobaldi 3.1 in my Ubuntu Software app. I downloaded the tarball, but I'm unsure where to put it and/or extract it. I tried putting it in its own directory in my /home directory, then extracting it there, but I still cannot figure out how to install it, even after reading the install file. I would greatly appreciate some further advice about how, what, and where I need to install Frescobaldi 3.1 and associated required files. For example, do I need to separately download and install Python 3.8.1? If I'm installing on my machine, do I need QtWebEngine? (I can't find that through Ubuntu Software, either.) Or should I wait until the Ubuntu Software application recognizes Frescobaldi 3.1? (I *am* trying to learn Linux from the command line, but it takes a while and my elderly brain is slow on the uptake.) Many thanks to everyone who helps so much with Lilypond and Frescobaldi!
