I have not had problems installing autopsy on windows, on linux I have installed autopsy but the installation is different, it is a “browser version” how can I install autopsy on linux by missing the actual installation of the program as in windows? For linux I downloaded the zip, but then once extracted how do I install autopsy on linux?
