How to install MEGAsync client on ubuntu 22.04

  • 772

is there a way to install the current MEGAsync desktop client on ubuntu 22.04?

they offer megasync-xUbuntu_18.04_amd64.deb as the most recent version.

when i try to install it i get:

$ sudo dpkg -i megasync-xUbuntu_18.04_amd64.deb
Selecting previously unselected package megasync.
(Reading database ... 381862 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack megasync-xUbuntu_18.04_amd64.deb ...

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of megasync:
 megasync depends on libc-ares2 (>= 1.11.0~rc1); however:
  Package libc-ares2 is not installed.
 megasync depends on libcrypto++6; however:
  Package libcrypto++6 is not installed.
 megasync depends on libmediainfo0v5 (>= 0.7.56); however:

 megasync depends on libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.1); however:

 megasync depends on libzen0v5 (>= 0.4.31-2~); however:
  Package libzen0v5 is not installed.

libcrypto++8 is available, but not libcrypto++6. libc-ares2 is available. libssl1.1 has no installation candidate; libssl3 is available.

first installing

$ sudo apt install libcrypto++8 libc-ares2 libmediainfo0v5 libssl3

reduces the error message to

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of megasync:
 megasync depends on libcrypto++6; however:
  Package libcrypto++6 is not installed.
 megasync depends on libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.1); however:
  Package libssl1.1 is not installed.

but still - i was not able to install the package.

    They offer downloads for many different Ubuntu releases.

    Make sure to use the scroll down menu and select "Ubuntu 22.04".

  2. Did you try the flatpak version? That's the one I'm using, and it works fine.

  3. sudo dpkg -i megasync-xUbuntu_18.04_amd64.deb
