To Install Lynx On Linux Mint 20.2

Introduction:

The Lynx software enables you to view plain ASCII text on simple terminals, without adding any multimedia content. This makes it easier to view hypertext documents and navigate through links using just your keyboard. You don't need a mouse, display graphical images or play sounds as you navigate through lists of links.

Step 1: Check the OS version by using the below command

root@linuxhelp:~# lsb_release -a

Distributor ID:	Linuxmint
Description:	Linux Mint 20.2
