3. 3. Installing Ghidra

   And Now to Install Ghidra in Ubuntu
   Simply extract the Stuff into the Target Folder:

   sudo unzip -d /opt/ ~/Downloads/ghidra*.zip

   Here the “/opt” Target is choosen, but you can change it in a different one, also inside the User’s Home.
   And if you are in Trouble to Find it out the Package on Terminal then See: How to Access Downloads Folder from Browser.
   If the Unzip Tool is missing, first:

   sudo apt install unzip

   For a System-wide Setup we Fix the Ownerships with:

   sudo chown -R root:root /opt/ghidra*

   Again we Rename the Folder for an easier Path Setup as:

   sudo mv /opt/ghidra* /opt/ghidra

   Last, amend the User’s PATH Variable conformly:

   echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/opt/ghidra' >> ~/.bashrc

   And Reload it:

   bash

   Done! ;)
