What distro you running?
Let me break down your highly charged post.
…And poor English. Low-level is understood among computer enthusiasts as someone who working deep in how apps or hardware work, which is the complete opposite of your proficiency (newbie/noob).
I assume you checked out the Github page?
apt, I see? So you’re running a Debian-based distro. Which one, though? The same Github page also specifies how you may install for your distro:
curl --silent https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FEX-Emu/FEX/main/Scripts/InstallFEX.py | python3
The command assumes you have Python and curl installed. Also, be warned that the command is suggested for Ubuntu, not Debian, so do it at your own risk.
Before they dropped support for GCC, you could compile it for any distro on uConsole. I was working on a script to build it on uConsole but with clang it’s more complicated
Bookworm from Rex - and yes, i know that low-level can be explained as hardware level thus newbie, so maybe end-user. So what, im not native. Im self taught.

Have you tried compiling the source ?
No, i will see what i can do, But no promise.
Was that post highly charged? Lower level can mean at a finer granularity, yes, but it can also mean that someone hasn’t “leveled” past a beginner status. Lately I’ve generally softened when it comes to poor typing/syntax, given how much AI spam comes through nowadays. It used to be that the bar to entry was carefully typing your question, now the typing alone can’t be taken for granted.
The Github page says the following should work for Debian-based systems:
curl --silent https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FEX-Emu/FEX/main/Scripts/InstallFEX.py | python3
Though as your doctor I must recommend that you take this pill under professional supervision as curling into a shell or Python interpreter is terrifying practice:
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FEX-Emu/FEX/main/Scripts/InstallFEX.py
less InstallFEX.py # does it say "installing malware now"?
python3 InstallFEX.py # otherwise go ahead

When i started that curl in terminal, it say only for Ubuntu. This is why i started this Topic, because im newbie in linux and cannot find any working manual “How to install Fex-emu” to debian (Bookworm). So when i have time, i go ahead a try compile it on sugestion of RYN
The GitHub links this page describing how to build FEX on Linux. I haven’t tried it but it doesn’t look too bad.

Hey, what’s wrong with you that you talk to strangers like this? Maybe their mastery of English isn’t up to your standards, but you lack soft-skills most children develop by age 8 so let’s not throw stones eh?
