New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux?

Normally you’d just run sudo apt install … but in this case you are adding a new repository so you have to follow the extra steps of adding the signing key and so on first.

Open the terminal and copy and paste the commands found in their install guide for Ubuntu:

<span style="color:#323232;"># Download signing key 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/mullvad-keyring.asc https://repository.mullvad.net/deb/mullvad-keyring.asc
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Add the stable repository
</span><span style="color:#323232;">echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mullvad-keyring.asc arch=$( dpkg --print-architecture )] https://repository.mullvad.net/deb/stable $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mullvad.list
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Install 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo apt update
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo apt install mullvad-vpn
