I had some missing libraries like libmtp, after extracting the tar, what do I do with the folders? do I need to extract to a specific area? can I move them after installing?

Isn't libmtp available in your repo?

[-] FemboyNB@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago

I installed libmtp because I got a "no .source file" error while trying to transfer files

The left over files and directories are safe to delete.
