After it downloaded, I then hit the windows-e (explorer shortcut) and went into my downloads.
From there I right-clicked on it and then clicked “Open”
Then I installed it with the GUI.
Afterwards, I just run it like normal. In other words I click on it in the list of programs.
I tried this yesterday. I’m using Ubuntu. Your instructions are clear and direct; I had no trouble following them, and the code lines you indicated worked fine. But every time I try to run it from my list of programs, nothing happens, and when I try running it from terminal, it always comes up with the same missing libgst shared file. I updated 161 files and added 2 beyond your offerings. When I tried installing just the libgst file, it tells me it is already there and updated, but something, somehow is preventing it from being seen. After 5 1/2 hours of frustration, I finally gave up, If I get it figured out, I will update here in case anyone else has the same problem.

Update 2/27 I got it installed using WINE and it works beautifully.
Ubuntu 15.10 and Scrivener 1.9
I’m not having the same issue, and I’m using a completely clean install of Xubuntu 14.04. Scrivener 1.9 installed and started up without any issues. What versions of Ubuntu and Scrivener are you using?
Sorry for the late response. I must not be following the thread.
Glad to see it’s working for you now. I’m WINE-phobic, though (which I guess is unrelated since that’s exactly how you fixed it).
It installed on my Ubuntu 14.04 no problems. I created a nice desktop launcher using a Scrivener logo png.
Seems to work pretty well. It doesn’t do spellcheck, but that could be due to something on my end.
I’d love to see work on Scrivener for Linux continue and I’d certainly contribute. I’m a software engineer/developer in Linux and Windows - let me know if I can help in any way with development.

I’m no Linux expert, although we’re successfully running a variety of Debian linux here at home on several machines.
I think the issue is that you’re overlooking the “apt” installer message:
“W: Failed to fetch cdrom://Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn - Release i386 (20141022.1)/dists/utopic/restricted/binary-i386/Packages Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs”
Try doing what it’s telling you: type “apt-cdrom” instead of “apt-get update” … you’re pulling files off the cdrom, not the online repository.
I followed the instructions, it still wasn’t working I did some googling and found to install some plugins using: sudo apt-get install libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
Thanks for posting it, though!
