  1. Best Answer

    ghostscript is not found under Ubuntu Software Center

    So, either install it from there or you can just update your current version to latest one:

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ghostscript

    If that doesn't work download one of the following:

    Then:

    sudo dpkg -i /path-to-downloadedpackage.deb

  2. The recommended way is (as posted before):

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ghostscript

    If you need a newer version than provided by your Ubuntu-Version:

    To check your version (maybe after restarting terminal)

    ghostscript -v
