I downloaded "doxygen-1.8.20.linux.bin.tar.gz" here:"https://www.doxygen.nl/download.html"

How to install it on Ubuntu 20.04?

  • @Rinzwind from what do you deduct that only python 2.7 is supported? The software uses for the builds some python, but doxygen itself doesn't need it. furthermore the builds run, to the best of my knowledge with python 2.7 and python 3 – albert Nov 13 '20 at 08:52
  • On the download page https://www.doxygen.nl/download.html#srcbin you find a version for Ubuntu 20.04. You can download the compressed tar file and place the executable(s) in a directory and when necessary add this directory to your path (e.g. /usr/local/bin). When you would like to compile yourself download the sources, extract the compressed tar file follow the instructions as with the "github clone version" in the build/bin directory you will find the executables – albert Nov 13 '20 at 08:56

This software is already packaged in the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS repository with modern and actual 1.8.17 version.

Simply open terminal and run

sudo apt-add-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install doxygen

then use it as it was planned.

    The mentioned doxygen version 1.8.17 is not the latest version as the current version is 1.8.20. – albert Nov 13 '20 at 08:45
