Having trouble installing Paratext 7.5 on Ubuntu 16.04

0 votes
232 views

We’ve followed the instructions setup the repository and when we click on the the install button for Paratext 7.5 we get an error message saying that it cannot find the file ending in *5_1.80_amd64.deb

When we go to the repository itself, we see that the 1.80 file is not listed.
We’ve tried to download and install several of the other .deb files but they have all failed.
When we double click on the deb file, we sometimes get an error, and we sometimes get nothing.

Anything else we should try?
