Unable to install Midori browser on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS [duplicate]

  • 772

I am trying to install Midori to Ubuntu, starting with:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:midori

The response is:

 Midori Browser
    http://twotoasts.de/index.php/midori/

This PPA is signed. To add the GPG key to your apt keyring:
   sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com A69241F1
Starting with Karmic, adding the PPA and its key is as simple as:
   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:midori

You may also want to use the WebKit-team PPA:
     https://launchpad.net/~webkit-team/+archive/ppa
You can find unstable Midori versions at
    https://launchpad.net/~midori/+archive/midori-dev

Is there an easy way how to deal with that?

    Looks like that PPA is a little stale but Midori can be installed on 64bit Bionic Beaver as follows:

    sudo apt-get install libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0 libwebkitgtk-1.0-0
wget http://midori-browser.org/downloads/midori_0.5.11-0_amd64_.deb
sudo dpkg -i midori_0.5.11-0_amd64_.deb

    This works well enough on my Bionic Beaver VM as the following screenshot demonstrates:

    Mind you this is an older and perhaps not well maintained browser so just be a little careful...
