Quote:It appears that Telegram is available only as a Tarball, but Franz supplies a .deb file. You could always attempt using GDebi package Installer, BUT be advised there is no support for such packages. The end result might not be to your liking. You might consider learning to use Synaptic and GDebi Package Installer, as well as learning to install Tarballs. BUT REMEMBER, Lite doesn't support such endeavors. You'll be venturing into uncharted waters each time.
I cannot speak for the developers, but it has been my experience that the forum users (including the developers) do not as a rule shy away from someone attempting to install legitimate software from an archive or *.deb installation file. Gdebi and Archive Manager are actually installed as part of Linux Lite. So installing via those methods is anticipated.
PPA installations can be a tad riskier. The forum supporters don't totally shy away from that either, but I would encourage the user (as I am sure you would) to find an alternative closer to the traditional methods.
