How to install the new Converseen in Ubuntu

The image converter is available to install in different package formats: AppImage, Snap, Flatpak, and Deb. Choose either one that you prefer.

1. AppImage

The software website provides the universal AppImage for downloading via the link button below:

It’s a non-install package. Just grab it, right-click and go to ‘Properties’ dialog to add executable permission. Finally, click run the AppImage will launch the tool.

NOTE: Ubuntu 22.04 and higher does not support AppImage out-of-the-box. You need to open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run command to install the required library to make AppImage works.

sudo apt install libfuse2

2. Snap

For Ubuntu 20.04+, the snap package is the easiest way to get converseen, though it runs in sandbox. Just open Ubuntu Software, search for and install the package marked as ‘Snap Store (snap)’.

3. Flatpak package

Converseen now is also available to install as Flatpak package, that works in most Linux through a sandbox environment.

To install the Flatpak package, first open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run command to install the daemon:

sudo apt install flatpak

Then, use the command below to install the package from Flathub repository:

flatpak install https://dl.flathub.org/repo/appstream/net.fasterland.converseen.flatpakref

If this is the first time you installing a Flatpak package, then you may need a log out and back in to make app icon visible. Or, run the command below instead to start it from terminal:

flatpak run net.fasterland.converseen

4. Ubuntu PPA (.deb)

For those who prefer the classic .deb package format, there’s unofficial PPA that contains the package for Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 24.04, and Ubuntu 24.10.

1. First, press Ctrl+Alt+T on keyboard to open terminal. When it opens, run command to add the PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/apps

Type user password (no asterisk feedback) and hit Enter to continue.

2. Then, install the software package by running command:

sudo apt install converseen

Linux Mint user may have to run sudo apt update first to update cache.

The PPA also contains some other software packages, so you may remove it immediately after installed Liferea.

To do so, either run the command below in terminal, or remove the source line under “Other Software” tab in Software & Updates tool.

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/apps

To remove the feed reader package, simply run command:
