Hi Douglas,
I do not understand which Operating System you are using (I guess UbuntuStudio_19.10).
In addiction to what Phyllis wrote, you can see a video to install Cinelerra-gg, if it can help.
Link to http://www.visi1.org/cinelerra-gg_tutorials#DownloadAndFirstRun
My OS is UbuntuStudio_16.04. You can choose the Cinelerra-gg version for your OS.

 Doug,
Make your life a lot easier by installing Cinelerra from the tar file.  If you are using Mint 19, here are the steps to do that.

1) download the tar file via the internet by clicking on the link provided below and choosing "Save file":
      https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/tars/cinelerra-5.1-mint19-20200331.x86_64-static.txz
2) most likely your computer is probably set up to download that file to your $HOME/Downloads directory but you may have changed that or can change it to /tmp
3) in a window, keyin the following:
    cd /the_path_where_you_want_to_put_cinelerra
    mkdir cin
    tar -xJf $Home/Downloads/cinelerra-5.1-mint19-20200331.x86_64-static.txz
(Above, you have to substitute wherever you downloaded that file to for $Home/Downloads is you put it somewhere else).

4) to run Cnelerra, keyin:  /the_path_where_you_put_cinelerra/bin/cin

If you get stopped, just reply and I will see what went wrong.
