[SOLVED] What Linux version of software is most like Sigil?

Gregg Bell · 03-26-2014, 02:07 PM

Still can't get Sigil. Haven't gotten a reply from the last two posts I made. Anybody got a way of getting it? Thanks. P.S. I'm looking for Sigil 0.7.2.

Found the file in the File Manager and right clicked on it. The options for opening were:

-open in ubuntu software center
-open with Archive Manager
-open with other application

sudo apt-get install gdebi

EDDY, I ran this command. It ran. Here's the result (see screenshot). I assume the command was to get Sigil, but if I have Sigil, I can't find it. I've looked in Downloads, the applications menu, synaptic package manager, Ubuntu Software Center, run "find" and "locate" in the terminal. Is it somewhere else or do I not have it? And please remember I'm totally new at this--if you could flesh things out a bit, it would be appreciated. And if this last command did not install Sigil, can you tell me how to remove what was installed. Thanks.

You installed gdebi, right-click on the file you want to install, select open with gdebi & it will install for you as long as it's a .deb

I got it, EDDY. Really appreciate you following through on this, and now I'll be able to install other deb files too. Thanks so very much!

no problem glad you got it working.
