The Dink Network

I have been attempting to install WinDinkedit Plus 2 on my Ubuntu running laptop; however, I keep getting the message: "The Dink installation folder could not be found". The only reason I'm trying to install WDePlus2 in the first place is because I can't seem to figure out how to save my changes in freedinkedit. I type "q" but it just simply quits. My immediate changes are not saved when leaving a screen. I don't know how to create a new blank d-mod either...and I cannot seem to find any sort of manual or instruction/tutorial etc. for freedinkedit. It looks like WDe would be great except I can't get past step 2. install.
