The above package allows for running monero-wallet-cli but there's no corresponding monero-wallet-gui unfortunately.

    There is a Monero GUI available as a flatpak install. The website is this: https://flathub.org/apps/org.getmonero.Monero

    Installation instructions for flatpak are here: https://flatpak.org/setup/Ubuntu

    In short, first install flatpak:

    sudo apt install flatpak

    Then install the Monero GUI:

    flatpak install flathub org.getmonero.Monero

    and run it with:

    flatpak run org.getmonero.Monero
