I downloaded the .deb file of Remarkable Markdown editor in Ubuntu 20.04. As soon as I started to run the .deb file, it is showing the following error:

Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: gir1.2-webkit-3.0

As far as I know, WebKit is a browser engine for Apple Products. I do not know why it is required on Linux. Any help in resolving this will be very much appreciated.

    The package is **not** apple specific; apple just use it. But if you look at https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gir1.2-webkit-3.0&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all you'll note it's *deprecated* and out-of-date. Refer https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&section=all&arch=any&keywords=gir1.2-webkit&searchon=names – guiverc Jan 14 '22 at 03:18
  • Okay, thanks a lot. – Yellow Yak Jan 14 '22 at 03:21
  • You can run `sudo apt --fix-broken install` to install all the dependencies after installing the deb package. – Error404 Jan 14 '22 at 03:26

    Based on [this GitHub issue](https://github.com/jamiemcg/Remarkable/issues/379), the project seems pretty much abandoned. The developer is not even doing anything with the multiple fixes that people have offered – matigo Jan 14 '22 at 03:29

You can still install Remarkable on Ubuntu from Snap by using command below:

snap install remarkable

But better way is to use its modern and mature alternative named ReText. It is installable from official repositories by

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

Here is a fix for installing Remarkable 1.87 with .deb file format that worked for me and others.

although I recommend install it via gdebi instead of dpkeg -i by this command

sudo gdebi <your deb file.deb>

for remarkable use this:

sudo gdebi remarkable_1.18_.deb

Note: if you don't have gdebi install it :

sudo apt install gdei

Hope this helps others
