Pardon my elementary question. I'm trying to install the latest LDC on ubuntu. Not sure what exactly I need to do. sudo apt get/install ldc2 doesn't work. Downloaded the binary ldc2-1.35.0-linux-x86_64.tar.xz to Windows.

Thanks for any assistance.

sudo apt install ldc (not ldc2)

And yes, it works, because I have a Windows 11 laptop running ldc in WSL.
