Orca?

[Dan Miner]

I do not have any experience with these distributions but if they truly have roots in Debian and remain mostly compatible then I believe it is simply a task of using apt (terminal) or something like Synaptic (GUI).  As I am most comfortable with a terminal, here is one of numerous ways to install orca with its dependencies.

Launch a terminal or find a virtual console and when you have a command prompt, type:

	sudo apt install orca

If you get apt not found then use sudo apt-get instead install orca

It should list what will be downloaded and an estimate of size of storage needed and a question if you wish to continue, type y and press ENTER.

Hoping all things are ready for using a screen reader then it may be as simple as rebooting or turning orca on in the GUI.

Sadly, these details vary quite a bit across brands of GUI and distributions.  Hope this helps, and if not quite right then look at the documentation for the system you will be using.

Hi,

I’m wanting to install orca on either/and Whonix and TAILS. These are Debian-based and as such only need to download orca and its few dependencies, correct? I need to have instructions as short as possible to have a sighted friend do the install. I think this is what I should do. 

Instead of separately downloading each file and they needed dependency, not that there are many, but would it be possible to add a repository containing orca (Ubuntu) and then just running, “apt install orca”. 

Thank you in advance,

-Reece
