I looked for a version of inkscape and landed on this page:

It offered to let me "install it now" by downloading it with a .ymp extension. The page doesn't seem to offer other download formats,
Yes, it does. Click on the grey "Show other versions" below the big direct install. Recommended.
but the .ymp was to "install now" (from my windows browser? hmmm).. So I saved it so I could open and install it on my linux box. However, how do I open it or use it as an installation source?
Usually I try to save an install file to disk before "executing" it. So how do I open it from the cmd line?
Yes, there is a command to install them directly, but failing that, you can point firefox to "file:///home/whatever" and then click on the ymp file to install it. Or open it in a text editor to find out the repo and files it wants. Sorry, I don't remember the direct command. I never use it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
