Paratext in Ubuntu 21.10 (Impish Indri)

Question

Is it possible to install Paratext in Ubuntu 21.10?

I’ve installed the repositories, but the impish repository doesn’t seem to contain paratext-9.0. I tried changing the line in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/packages-sil-org.list to this:

deb Directory Listing focal main

When I did that, I could install sudo apt install paratext-9.0. But launching Paratext caused it to crash.

Answer 1

Paratext only runs on Ubuntu LTSs.

Paratext Lite will run on any Ubuntu thought. (or likely any Linux distribution)

Answer 2

Thank you. I didn’t realise that Paratext Lite was available for desktop, not just Android.
