Installation methods and instructions can vary wildly depending on the package system being used. You’ll most likely need to refer to the instructions that are in the repository where you found the package you’re referring to. So, if you have a question about a project on GitHub , you should look for suggestions on how to get support in the following locations:

• If the project has a SUPPORT file, look there
• If the project has a CONTRIBUTING file, look there
• If the project has a README file (almost all projects on GitHub do), look there
• If the project has none of those files or they don’t indicate where you can ask questions, open an issue on the project’s repository

And if none of those bear fruit, you’ll probably want to refer to the instructions that the packaging system itself offers.

I hope that helps!
