Please open up a terminal and ....

Update your package index

sudo apt update

Search for packages containing a string

apt search mahjongg

As a result you should get a list of all packages which name or description match your searchstring (here: mahjongg)

Install packages by name

sudo apt install mahjongg

This will install the package mahjongg and all its needed dependencies.

In Short

In this example you would need only the last command (edit: and possibly the first) - as we already know the name of the package. I added the other 2 commands to offer some more information and help you in general.

  • The cursor in the password prompt is supposed to "not move"

Type in your password as needed.

  • The cursor doesn't move - that's a security feature so that not only can people not see the characters that you are typing, they can't see what number of characters you're typing. It's just a little bit more secure - someone could listen to tell how many keys you're hitting or whatever, but that's why it is that way from my understanding.

  • @JonngInbrasil, don't know if you've gotten this working yet, but if you haven't, just type your password in and type enter.
