I know this is probably a super silly question, but how do I install on my pc open source programs that I find here on github.
By installing I mean directly from the source code, and not by going on some external website and downloading the file from there.
I know I'm a noob, just go easy on me please
Github page of the program will generally show README file, and it would contain instructions on how to install this program. Sometimes you can find the instructions in wiki pages for this project.
There is no one general way to install something from github, it really depends on the software you are looking at.
Quite often, especially if it is a big project and is written in low level language, the main installation step is entering commands
./configure
make
make install
in your terminal, but this is only one of the different installation procedures.

I saw this project https://github.com/strace/strace. (is that the best project for strace?)
And I have gcc cross compiler for Arm Linux.
How can I compile it for Arm Linux?
I look here https://github.com/strace/strace/tree/master/linux/arm but I didn't find Make file
The specifics for building strace from source will depend on:
a) your particular Linux,
b) your particular toolchain, and
c) your strace source.
Take a look at this article: it should get you pointed in the right direction:
Cross compiling for ARM with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
See also https://strace.io/. It points to exactly the same the GitHub source tree you cited: https://github.com/strace/strace. It also gives you detailed information, and links to mailing list sand an IRC channel for additional help.
Finally:
Be sure to read the README* file(s)!
Usually the first thing you need to do is run ./configure. This generates a Makefile which is tailored to your configuration

Can someone help me? I have no idea what to do. If someone could please help me with a step by step process. I have no idea what or if I need to instal something. The only think I know is that I usually lose all my projects so I need a proper way to save them. Btw my knowledge about github is 0
First and foremost, I would learn how to use Git and Github. You can try going here:
https://guides.github.com/
This covers GitHub very well. Considering you are working with Unity, you will want to know what files to put on a repository and what not to expose to the world. The tutorials regarding using a .gitignore file will cover that concept. There really isn't much else you need to know.
As an aside, I would also suggest you check out
Unity Hub . This lets you upload, track and run analysis on your projects from one location.

It seems this has not been asked before - and maybe I'm too dumb to figure it out myself. I am trying to download a specific MatLab package and being decently new to MatLab - I have no idea how to get it to work. There is no exe file or anything that denotes usefulness in "downloading" it into my MatLab software. The package in question can be found [here]. It is called MetSign - open-source made by UL and I would like to check it out. Thank you for any help.
On the link you provide, at the bottom there's a link saying "download". Click that, and it will take you to SourceForge, a download website for open source software. Wait for a few seconds, and download of a .zip file will start. Wait for the download to complete, and save the .zip file somewhere on your computer. Unzip the file to somewhere on your computer. Inside you'll find a bunch of .m files. These are MATLAB code files. Within MATLAB, add the folder containing the downloaded code to your MATLAB path using the command addpath. Now run the code. I can't help you much with that step, as I have no idea what the code does, but on the original download page there are also links to some academic papers describing the code - I imagine these will give you some hints about how to run it.

Simply put, can I use github online rather than ever having to download the program for windows. It appears to be much easier than downloading git or the github application. Any thoughts on this?
Yes, you can if you like. Github supports online editing and commit. But I don't think it's convenient since you cannot compile, run and debug your codes, and easy to lost your work when you close your browser without save.
You lose a lot of power by giving up the command line, but you can certainly do most routine tasks in the cloud. You can do some limited editing and repository tasks directly on GitHub, or hook into your GitHub repository with a cloud-based IDE like Cloud9, CodeEnvy, or other similar services.

I am a beginner in programming and I decided to take the Stanford online Intro to Programming Methodology course (cs106a). I followed the instructions and unzipped the Eclipse files onto my computer. When I tried to open it, it said "An error has occurred, see log file. " I am not sure how to fix this and I really want to learn this program. I searched other similar questions and only one was found and the suggested solution was to set environmental variables. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that.
How can I get Eclipse running?
There could be numerous possibilities.
But first start with these.
(1) Are you using a 32 or 64 bit computer? Then you must use the Eclipse that is designed for your system.
(2) Do you have JDK installed? It's on Oracle website.
(3) Is your OS in good shape? As in did you or other programs mess around registry?
Hope this helps.
