Update Sigil?

1eduard · 05-16-2022, 11:28 AM

Hi,

I installed Sigil from my computer (using Linux Mint 20.3), but it's an outdated version!

How do I update it to the latest version?

There are various contributed repos that might be up to date but building it yourself is probably the best approach. There are build instructions for Linux in the Sigil/docs folder in github.

You'll probably have to compile it yourself if you want the latest. Ubuntu 22.04 has the latest Sigil in their repositories, but Mint 20.3 is based on Ubuntu Focal (20.04) and Focal still has a fairly outdated version of Sigil in its repositories.

Someone also manages a flatpak image for Sigil on Flathub that's very recent. You could try that. It should theoretically work on even older systems. I've never used flatpak myself (and I'm not endorsing or supporting the Sigil image), but it's another option at least.

I believe that Flatpak support is built into Linux Mint starting with Mint 18.3.
