Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Sigil is an open-source, multi-platform, lightweight, EPUB reader. Most important features: support for UTF-16, regular expression find and replace support, support for importing EPUB and HTML files, WYSIWYG editing feature in Book View, control over editing EPUB syntax in Code View, table of contents generator, spell checking with either default or user configured dictionaries.
The latest version available is Sigil 0.7.4, which has been released a while ago.
In this article I will show you how to install Sigil 0.7.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Elementary OS 0.3 Freya, Pinguy OS 14.04, LXLE 14.04, Linux Lite 2.0, Peppermint Five and other Ubuntu 14.04 derivative systems.
Because it is available via PPA, installing Sigil 0.7.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 and derivative systems is easy. All you have to do is add the ppa to your system, update the local repository index and install the sigil package. Like this:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bedouin/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install sigil
Optional, to remove sigil, do:
$ sudo apt-get remove sigil
Thank you. Now I will try.
