Hi guys,
I just created a "windscribe" account and installed it on my firefox browser and it works fine. then i started to get interested in installing it on linux mint 22.1 that i use but i found some problems when running this "windscribe". some of them are the command "windscribe --version"

Below are the installation steps that I have done.
kurniaru@kurniaru-ThinkPad-X240:~$ cd /home/kurniaru/Downloads
kurniaru@kurniaru-ThinkPad-X240:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i windscribe-cli_2.13.8_amd64.deb

But when I type the command "windscribe --version" what appears is "windscribe: command not found"

I have read several tutorials and have asked AI to analyze what happened but I still get the same error. So finally I decided to write this post hoping to get the right direction from you all. Thank you for reading this post and I would also be grateful if you could share the right tutorial for my problem.

Finally, I uninstall the cli version and install the " windscribe_2.13.8_amd64 " using the same step and... it is installed!
But still it won't running

Have you created an account and then logged in with the software (not the website)?

all I needed was precision and not panic. at the beginning, it turned out that I had chosen the wrong package to install. By the way, thanks for the response @KGIII and @Condobloke
