If you haven’t stumbled into errors during installation it means you have never installed Magento regardless of its version. It does remind me of Windows in the beginning. It’s going to work but be patient. I never got bored of errors though when installing Magento cms or a theme for Magento and I started to document them.
composer require magento/product-community-edition 2.4.4 --no-update
composer update --ignore-platform-reqs
php bin/magento s:up
php bin/magento s:s:d -f
php bin/magento s:d:c
php bin/magento in:rein
php bin/magento c:c
Change 2.4.4 with the desired version you are installing. I am writing this articole when I was installing Magento community 2.4.4
