Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mapreri/sigil
sudo apt-get update
Then to install ...
Code:
sudo apt-get install sigil
If any of that makes you uncomfortable, I'll walk you through removing your current Sigil installation, downloading/installing my stand-alone 0.9.8 package, and migrating your current preferences/plugins.
Thanks Diap. Well, I'm just not sure I know enough to make an informed decision. (I'm pretty ignorant about how Xubuntu works with the ppas and dependencies and all that stuff.) Like, why would you use Rizzolo's version before your own? So if I run those commands will my preferences be automatically updated? And will his or your versions get updated when I get the main software updates from Xubuntu? Knowing you, I think I'd be more comfortable having your version. What do you think the best way to go is?
