How to Install Grub Customizer 5.1.0 in Ubuntu:
For Ubuntu 18.10, and current 3 Ubuntu LTS releases (14.04, 16.04, 18.04), install the new release packages via following steps:
1. Open terminal either from App Launcher or via Ctrl+Alt+T keyboard shortcut. When it opens, paste below command and run to add the official PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
Type user password (no asterisks feedback due to security reason) when it asks and hit Enter to continue.
2. Then update package lists and install the software:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install grub-customizer
You can skip sudo apt-get update in Ubuntu 18.04 and higher, since step 1 adding PPA do it automatically.

To remove the software, run command in terminal:
sudo apt-get remove --autoremove grub-customizer
And open Software & Updates and navigate to Other Software tab to remove third party PPA repositories.
