How to install simplescreenrecorder on old version of Debian?

Why it is so hard to install a simple program on Linux, which I have installed easily on two other flavours of linux.?

Becasue you are using an old and unsupported version of Debian.

@unknown, Sid or more correctly unstable branch of Debian has the latest version of 2.9 (eg 2.9.7) while the release version is a couple of versions behind due to Debian's lockdown policy.  Using APT pinning allows you to get linuxcnc (and possibly simplescreenrecorder) from Sid/unstable as I outline in this video


IN fact a variant of this could be used by the OP to get simplescreenrecorder from unstable (or Trixie)

Dependencies will be a nightmare, libqt5 will be a problem as it would appear it wasn't packaged for Wheezy, if in fact Wheezy is the Debian version Old Mate is running.
