Install a bunch of 32bit libraries

You need an outdated version of SSL, didn’t bother looking into the reason why, it is most likely due to this application being written for Ubuntu 14.04.

After they been moved and the libraries installed, you will be able to use this program. Here is how you install the actual program itself.

Open the guitarpro6 .deb file in Archive Manager. Once opened, you should see three files, "control.tar.gz", "data.tar.gz", and "debian-binary".
Open "data.tar.gz". Then open the only folder there, "/./", it will contain two folders and two files.
Extract "opt" and "usr" to your Downloads folder.
Now we need to manually place each folder into the correct places. Be sure to replace "[your user-name]" with your computer's username, without the brackets.
The command below will place the .desktop file in your "/applications/" folder: 
<code># mv /home/[your user-name]/Downloads/usr/share/applications/GuitarPro6.desktop /usr/share/applications/guitarpro6.desktop</code>
This next command will place the pixmaps file: 
<code># mv /home/[your user-name]/Downloads/usr/share/pixmaps/guitarpro6.png /usr/share/pixmaps/</code>
Lastly, the following command will place the "/opt/" sudo mv /home/[your user-name]/Downloads/opt/GuitarPro6 /opt/

Guitar Pro 6 should now successfully be installed on your machine. To be sure, run the next two commands:

  $ cd /opt/GuitarPro6/
  $ sh launcher.sh
One last thing, if you want any audio what-so-ever, you will have to install the soundbanks. The updater in the upper left hand corner of GP will not work most of the time (minor bug). So head over to "/opt/GuitarPro6/" and the file "GPUpdater" will work. Go head and update everything (should be around 1.31GB).

Reboot after installing everything above, otherwise it will not launch.
