Not going to lie; this is going to come across as a bit of a rant; but I have been trying and failing to figure this out for a week at this point and I'm just tired of everything.

First though, backstory: a week ago I started thinking of a weird math based problem, and I wondered if anyone had figured out a way to figure it out.

Turns out; yes they have. This is literally the exact problem I was thinking about, and they happened to also have this program linked on Github.

And at that point I thought; fantastic. I'll just make a Git account, download the code, use it to figure out the problem I had, and then move on my way.

Nine thousand different flavours of 'No'

Let me make this abundantly clear; I am not a coder. I am completely technologically inept; I struggle to parse out how to write formulas in an Excel Spreadsheet for crying out loud.

Literally, the only thing I want to do; is just use the program. Start it up; enter the variables I need, have it do the work. And yet every single time I try to look up how to "use Github" it's always just more terminology that might as well be written in Klingon for as much sense as it makes to me, or instructions on how to edit and upload my own code! Which, considering the fact a dog slobbering over an open touch screen makes more accurate programs than I could even dream of, is literally even somehow even less useful to me.

I'm seriously at my wits end by now; literally all I'm asking for is just a START button. An infant level instruction manual that points a straight line from "Find code" -> "Use code for it's intended purpose".

Why is that seemingly more impossible then getting secrets out of the Pentagon? It seriously should not be this difficult to find the answer to actually the most basic question it's possible to ask about any program.

I'm literally begging at this point. Please, just... help me.
