This walkthrough is intended for use on a clean Linux distribution such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc by a beginner who is unfamiliar with resolving dependencies.

Step-By-Step guide on how to use this script:

  1. Create a file called fzscript.sh in the directory where you wish to build Filezilla
  2. Copy the below script into the file, save and exit.
  3. Ensure fzscript.sh has permission to run
  4. Open terminal and change the current working directory to the location of fzscript.sh
  5. run this command: "sudo ./fzscript.sh"

The expected running time can be anywhere from 10 minutes to hours depending on computer speed and internet connection speed.
