Ghostwriter, free and open-source markdown text editor, released version 2.1.0 with some new features. Here’s what’s new and how to install in Ubuntu.<\/p>\n

Ghostwriter<\/a> is a cross-platform, aesthetic and distraction-free Markdown editor works on Linux, Windows, and MacOS. It comes with live HTML preview<\/i>, dark<\/i> and light<\/i> mode, focus<\/i> mode, hemingway mode, autosave, MathJax<\/i>, and built-in Cheat Sheet in the sidebar (toggle via F1) in case you forgot some Markdown syntax.<\/p>\n

By releasing v2.1.0, it now auto-saves untitled documents to a draft folder, and provides a button in ‘Preferences’ to open that folder (it’s user Documents<\/i> folder in my case).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And, it loads the last opened file on startup while providing an option to toggle on\/off this feature. The bottom status bar can now display a different statistic. By clicking on it, you may choose to display how many words, characters, pages, sentences, paragraphs, or read time, write time, wpm, etc.<\/p>\n

How to Install The Latest Ghostwriter 2.1.0 in Ubuntu:<\/h3>\n

The text editor has an official PPA<\/a> that so far supports for Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 21.04. The Ubuntu 21.10 package is somehow not updated at the moment, you may check the link page though.<\/p>\n

1.) Add the PPA:<\/p>\n

Press Ctrl+Alt+T to open terminal. When it opens, run the command below to add the PPA repository:<\/p>\n

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wereturtle\/ppa<\/pre>\n
Type user password (no asterisk feedback) when it asks and hit Enter to continue.<\/i><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
2.) Refresh system package cache by running command in terminal. This is done automatically in Ubuntu 20.04 & higher while adding PPA, but some Ubuntu based systems may not.<\/p>\n
sudo apt update<\/pre>\n
3.) Finally install ghostwriter via command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt install ghostwriter<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
The software team also maintains Copr repository<\/a> for Fedora 33\/34\/35 and rawhide users. Simply open terminal and run commands below one by one will install it in Fedora:<\/p>\n
sudo dnf copr enable wereturtle\/stable<\/pre>\n
sudo dnf install ghostwriter<\/pre>\n
Uninstall Ghostwriter:<\/h3>\n
To remove the markdown editor, open terminal and run command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt remove --autoremove ghostwriter<\/pre>\n
And remove the Ubuntu PPA using “Software & Updates” utility under Other Software<\/i> tab:<\/p>\n
