  2. Open terminal:
    a. Right click inside folder, choose Open in terminal

  3. Run installation command with superuser pivileges:

    "sudo dnf install ./nativedsd-2.1.2.x86_64.rpm"

    sudo = do as superuser (root)

  5. Answer "y" when asked to confirm operation

  6. Wait for "Complete!"

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System

Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

#1) Respect the privacy of others.

#2) Think before you type.

#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
