OK I have looked up a plethora of these questions on how to install them, and honestly I can't get it to work for the life of me.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, nor am I super experienced with linux.
When I read some of these instructions and they are even the slightest vauge, such as with not explaining from start to finish how to "cd" something, I tend to get rather lost.
So my question is, can someone just lay out for me in the most simple way on how to install my intuos wacom pen and touch cth-480 / cth-480/s? And I mean every single step, I have tried and tried and simply cannot get it done. I was hoping to ditch my shite of a track pad that comes with this throwaway laptop but no such luck.

([...] means "whatever in brackets", this will change for you depending on your shell). The link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7192597/ . Note that thels
commands are not necessary, the means "list the content of the directory". Hope this help --- I cannot do more without knowing what exactly is your problem. – Rmano Apr 02 '14 at 02:41cd ~/Downloads
. You should see your file when you execute the commandls
, otherwise means it is not there... – Rmano Apr 02 '14 at 03:05here are the results:
PC:~$ tar xjvf input-wacom-0.20.0.tar.bz2 tar (child): input-wacom-0.20.0.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

say? You really should read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommandlineHowto ... – Rmano Apr 02 '14 at 03:13cd Downloads
- normally is where things go. After that, see if the file is there withls
. If you see it listed, start again from the tar. You're almost there. But you really should spend a bit of time with a Unix tutorial if you want really enjoy Linux. This http://www.tutorialspoint.com/unix/unix-getting-started.htm is very good. – Rmano Apr 02 '14 at 03:25is that because I'm still in the documents?

part of that line are back ticks, not normal ones. Why don't you simply cut and paste that line? – Rmano Apr 02 '14 at 03:38make clean
and repeat the steps starting from the ./configure command. I will mark this question as a duplicate now. Happy to have helped. – Rmano Apr 02 '14 at 03:56
