   Still much easier is   
      su   
      apt install gforth   
      
   This will give you a version 0.7.3 but that is reliable and plenty   
   good enough for the examples of starting forth.   
   Unfortunately this package is about to be orphaned.

       https://github.com/albertvanderhorst/ciforth/releases   
   The advantage is that you can unpack an archive, try to run it   
   in the unpack directory, and discard it if you don't like it.

   accepted:   
   https://github.com/albertvanderhorst/lina/blob/master/dsc/lina_5.3.0-1_i386.deb   
   This version is signed by my PGP sig (required for Debian contributors.)
