anyone can help me how to install this app form github - https://github.com/GoBig87/NordVpnLinuxGUI
i saw guide in github page. i tried but i can’t install i think i am doing it wrong so , tell me step how to do?
Looking at the NVPN’s install.sh that NordVpnLinuxGUI’s installer.sh downloads and run, it doesn’t look that Archlinux is among the operating systems supported.

Download the VPN config files and use NetworkManager to connect to VPN.

yes but i want try that github project. interface was amazing
You have been presented with several alternatives on how to connect to NVPN.
If you don’t approve of them, please ask NordVPN to add support for ArchLinux!
Good Luck!

Please note we’re not really a “tell me step how to do” something forum. You will need to do your own research first and add s last resort we’re here as well. This is at least the 5-6 “I can’t install, help me” threads you’ve made.
Follow their install directions provided. If you can’t build their package asking us likely won’t help, you will need to contact the maintainer over on git if their make script doesn’t work.

Just for clearification. Arent im allowed now to post it how to install it?
i investigated the install.sh, and it is very simple to install it to arch (if somebody can read “bash code”).
yes my brothers issue i am asking on this account.
I wholeheartedly recommend watching this video before buying any service from Nord VPN:
He was just referring to the OP not you.

Thats personal opinion. Maybe he is fine with that. And its seems he is already using nordvpn.
Yeah but fbodymechanic seems to be in the team from the forum here(?).
and I do not want to torperd “educational attempts” just because I now just “cheeky” post a step-by-step guide.
No, it isn’t. You either haven’t watched the video, or do not know what the phrase “personal opinion” means.
Let your brother know. In this case, it’s you the mentioned VPN installation is targeted at Debian-based distributions not at Arch. If you want to use NordVPN you have to use it through a terminal because Nord doesn’t have support for Arch. There is a Nord AUR package which is a terminal client.

Sure it is. if i want to jump of a bridge. i jump of a bridge. and it didnt matters for me if your say that isnt good to jump of a bridge 
And i now the problematic about nordvpn, hideme and co. But i dont care, that one reason why i use mullvad.
But if the OP want to use nordvpn, he is allowed to use nordvpn.
Of course you can. I am just noticing a pretty hefty trend by the OP - and can clearly see in the last few of their threads very (and sometimes overly) helpful people are noticably becoming less like themselves. It’s a pretty common thing called. . . well, I won’t say it this time because some people’s feelings were hurt on the last go. But, it’s a thing.
To us, it looks like it’s all the same person because it’s the same username. They should sign up and post for help, and they will likely learn more.
