Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, SeaMonkey is an internet suite that includes a web browser, an email and newsgroup client, a HTML editor, an IRC chat and web development tools.
The latest version available is SeaMonkey 2.26, which has been recently released, being built on Firefox 29. It comes with a lot of fixes and a bunch of new features. Read the release notes for extra information.
In this article I will show you how to install SeaMonkey 2.26 on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander, Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal, Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, Pinguy OS 14.04, Pinguy OS 12.04, Linux Mint 16 Petra, Linux Mint 14 Nadia, Linux Mint 13 Maya, Elementary OS 0.3 Isis, Elementary OS 0.2 Luna, Debian Jessie, Debian Wheezy and their derivative systems.
Because it will be available via the UbuntuZilla repository soon, installing SeaMonkey 2.25 on the listed Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Elementary OS, Pinguy OS and Debian systems is easy. All you have to do is add the repo and the key to your system, update the local repository index and install the seamonkey-mozilla-build package. Like this:
$ echo -e "deb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null
$ sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com C1289A29
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install seamonkey-mozilla-build
Thanks a lot! I did not know that this repo can be used on Debian as well 🙂
Was missing Seamonkey on Deian wheezy.
Can confirm works on SuperX 2.1. Thanks
One day, when I can install seamonkey, I will probably become a Linux Mint user. I got excited when I read your how to,,,,,,, but I am not a Linux user so it does not make sense. Why is Linux so angry at installing some programs while others just slide straight in? Please, any chance of step by step instructions for people who don’t know what $ echo -e “deb http means and why do I have to call a Repo man?
Please help;
Mint wannabe
just open a terminal (ctrl+shift+t), paste each command in the terminal (without the $ sign) and hit enter!!
Since a few days I’m using Linux Mint version Rosa, because of speed problems of Windows 8.1 on a 5-years old computer.
Within some hours all my applications were working well, except SeaMonkey.
Thanks to those 4 magnificent commands SeaMonkey was installed quickly and I can use the WYSIWYG-composer. I don’t need the other stuff right now.
Great
Hi Group
I hope this method will work with Linux Mint 17.3.
I did find a SeaMonkey 2.48 DEB.
