How can one install MathMod on Linux. Is there a "package" for it? If
there is, it is not at Sourceforge Github.
 
Also Software Manager cannot find it. So it is not among the
repositories that come with Mint.
 

I don't know, but a quick search of RPM's finds this:

http://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=mathmod&submit=Search+...

Apparently it is packaged for some distros.

But you can always build from the source.  That's how I do it.

It is quite easy:

unpack tarball

mkdir build && cd build

qmake5 ../MathMod.pro

edit Makefile (if desired)

make

run ./MathMod (no install necessary)

You may think this is an elementary or ridiculous issue. It is not. It
is why majority people do not have Linux on their computers. That should
mean something to you or to this forum. If it doesn't, that's yet
another reason Linux is not on majority people's computers.

I doubt if the majority of users, even on GNU/Linux, would be
interested in mathmod.
