How do I install Sigil in Ubuntu 15.04?

Is there a ppa I can use to install Sigil in Ubuntu 15.04?

The old ppa:rgibert/ebook doesn't work for me any more.

Sigil is in official repositories for Ubuntu 16.04, so you can install it without adding any 3rd party PPA:

sudo apt-get install sigil

The latest version Sigil 0.8.2 is available only here at the moment:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:i2p.packages/i2p
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sigil

FWIW,

Additional, you need the more up to date qt5 libraries, Found in ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sunab/sigil-git

Otherwise installing Sigil will fail due to older qt5 in the standard repositories.

You'll rarely find last version of Sigil in any ppa (0.7.2 there, 0.7.4 the last one).

The sunab/sigil-git ppa states it is for testing only; it uses "the latest git snapshot from git master branch of Sigil a WYSIWYG epub editor".

You can try the deb (now updated to 0.7.4) shared, with instructions, at mobileforums:

As of Ubuntu 16.04, Sigil is available in the official repositories.

There were some repositories that maintained Sigil for Ubuntu 15.04:

i2p: https://launchpad.net/~i2p.packages/+archive/ubuntu/i2p

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:i2p.packages/i2p
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sigil

mapreri: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri/+archive/ubuntu/sigil

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mapreri/sigil
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sigil

Though it is important to note that i2p.packages repository doesn't contain only Sigil, and updating after adding it may upgrade other packages.
