If you have any outdated version installed already, please remove them completely.&lt;br/&gt;
Also remove any directory named xdman under /opt ( open terminal and type rm -rf /opt/xdman and restart your computer )&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Installation steps:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Download the installation archive from: &lt;a href="http://xdman.sourceforge.net/#downloads"&gt;http://xdman.sourceforge.net/#downloads&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
2.&lt;strong&gt; Lets asume you have downloaded the file in your download folder. &lt;/strong&gt;(&lt;strong&gt;~/Downloads&lt;/strong&gt;) (&lt;strong&gt; make sure the file name after download is xdm-2018-x64.tar.xz or xdm-2018-x86.tar.xz, not xdm-2018-x86.tar(1).xz etc&lt;/strong&gt; )&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open terminal and switch to the directory using &lt;strong&gt;cd ~/Downloads&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Now type&lt;strong&gt; tar xvf xdm-2018-x64.tar.xz&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;tar xvf xdm-2018-x64.tar.xz&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Threre should a file named install.sh created inside the folder now&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Now you will need to be root user to start installation ( use sudo if you are using ubuntu/debian/mint/solus/elementary etc, and su -C for SUSE, manjaro, fedora etc )&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Type sudo ./install.sh or su -C ./install.sh&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;After installation is done then start XDM from start menu.&lt;/li&gt;
