      i tried installing komodo, but i got this message on terminal. I dont know how to proceed

      :~/Downloads/Komodo-Edit-9.3.2-16460-linux-x86_64$ ./install.sh
      install: warning: It appears that either your system does not have gtk-2.0 installed, or your system’s version of gtk-2.0 is not up to date.
      Komodo requires version 2.24 or greater. Please update gtk-2.0. While Komodo will still install correctly, it may not run.
      This diagnostic is not fool-proof. If you are sure the package is installed and up to date, you may safely ignore this warning.
      Proceed? [y/N]

      using ubuntu 16.04 LTS
