<p>Note that on a Debian or Ubuntu machine you should normally install the versions that come with the specific distro (e.g. v11 Bulleye for Debian, or Jammy Jellyfish 22.04 for Ubuntu) i.e. install using 'sudo apt install xxx', not by downloading things from the above sites. So installing everything you need should be as simple as:
<ul>
<li><tt>apt install openssh-client survex-aven tunnelx therion git sftp</tt></li>
<li><tt>ssh-keygen</tt> (to generate a key if you haven't already)</li>
<li><tt>apt install gpsprune qgis firefox-esr gedit tig gitg meld rsync</tt> (you may prefer other tools - e.g: elpa-magit is amazing but only if you know how to drive emacs)</li>
