      I do some work at Freelancer.com. They have a ‘Time tracker’, intended to be used in Linux Mint.

      Can it be used in AntiX, Berta Cáceres?
      Or will it wreck the system?
      In case it can be used, how do I install the program?

      (I am not very happy to install this kind of ‘spyware’, but unfortunately it seems that some of the clients want to use it.)

        Mint is based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian, so there is no outright guarantee, but likely it will install OK.

        Grab the .deb file & use
        [code]sudo dpkg -i nameof.deb[/code]
        that will either install it, or tell you if it requires dependencies.

          Hello fatmac! Thanks for your help!

          The ‘Freelancer’ time tracker installed, but there seems to be a file missing:
          freelancer-desktop-app/base
          It has installed into /opt/freelancer-desktop-app

          Thus, it is ‘installed’, but not working in any way.
          This is what it says in the ROXterminal:

          $ sudo dpkg -i /home/svenskelin/Hämtningar/freelancer-desktop-app_mint-i386.deb
          (Läser databasen … 119394 filer och kataloger installerade.)
          Förbereder att packa upp …/freelancer-desktop-app_mint-i386.deb …
          find: “/opt/freelancer-desktop-app/base”: Filen eller katalogen finns inte
