How to install SubtitleEdit on Ubuntu 16.04

  • 772

I use Subtitle Edit 3.5.9 on Windows all the time, but would like to get it running on Ubuntu too. (Maybe as preparation for Windows 7 EOL).

It states for SE359.zip:

This also works on Linux (when mono/mono-form/etc is installed) Linux users should also look here: http://www.sub-talk.NET/topic/2751-subtitle-edit-for-ubuntu-troubleshoting-tips-and-tricks/

I have never used mono before and am not a so experienced Linux user.
There are mono packages in Ubuntu Package Search but I have no idea about the best way to install or what is needed.

The referenced page Subtitle Edit For Ubuntu - Troubleshoting, Tips And Tricks is dated and not conclusive as far as I can tell.

So I would like to find out if there is a confirmed process to run this software, or any advice to try to get there.
