I decided to download Scribus as a FLOSS alternative to InDesign or Publisher.
I opened it and was told I need to download GhostScript and it directed me to a site which redirected me to a GitHub releases page
Which had about ten different release versions with shorthand filenames making it very difficult to find the right version. The documentation for Scribus was outdated and gave no help
First one I tried told me to install using Command Line
didn't work

@shel The stable version seems outdated. It's only compatible with vista, 7 and 8. And they won't fix bugs with the 1.4 so we should probably choose 1.5
I hoped Scribus were on the MS store, such as other free software. It would be easier :(
I don't have a windows at home, so I will have to wait until Monday to test it properly. Have you tried the portable app?
