What Linux version of software is most like Sigil?
I've heard Sigil is availabe on Linux but there just seems to be so many hoops (I'm new to Linux) to jump through I would much prefer to download the Linux equivalent of Sigil whatever that may be. The closest thing I've found so far is Calibre's Edit E-book. But in Sigil I can take an html file into it and convert it to epub. (I can't do that with Calibre's Edit E-book.) Granted, I can take an html and convert it to epub in Calibre (Calibre proper, not the Edit E-book offshoot) but that adds all this Calibre code, whereas Sigil adds nothing. Any ideas? Thanks.

I wouldn't have thought this would qualify as "jumping through hoops".
Should apply to xubuntu as well. |
thanks but couldn't get it

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sunab/sigil-git sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sigil in the terminal and it said something (see 049 screenshot) about whether I wanted to add the program or not and I hit enter. But then there was no Sigil program that I could find. I dug a little deeper into the Ubuntu One that you sent (the previous question--see 050 screenshot) and entered this sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sunab/sigil-git Which resulted in this (see 051 screenshot). I'm really quite new at all this. For instance, do I need to un-do any of what I've just done? Up for any suggestions. Thanks very much for the help. |

Unable to lock the adminsistration director... is another process using it? Any idea what's going on and how I can get Sigil on this computer? Thanks. |
13.04 is EOL, no longer supported
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases |
My bad you have 13.10 which is supported

OK The purists here will hate me but Let's use the GUI.
Open Synaptic from your system menu or install it first. Now choose Settings / Repositories / New Then Add Url http://ppa.launchpad.net/sunab/sigil-git/ubuntu/ Distribution saucy Section main Be sure the choice above is Binary and click OK Now Click reload and wait a while then search for sigil Right Click - Mark for install and then apply. Much Easier... |

I added the graphics as attachments
I hope they helps You were using the update manager Synaptic was the next tab over. |
Also, when I make e-books, I wind up using Sigil and Calibre in combination.
