it's free, which means you have to be prepared to do your part,
incl making an effort to read INSTALLATION, which really isn't hard.

not in the package you have, but goto  http://lynx.browser.org/
& follow the links from there to find `binaries',
which are pre-compiled versions of Lynx;
you need to choose one which is appropriate for your system,
but then it should work (more or less) out of the box.

it's not difficult, but if you can find a suitable binary, you don't need to.
if you still have problems, ask again here,
telling us what hardware & software you are using (eg Windows95, DOS):
Lynx works on many different systems, but a bit differently for each.
