Ubuntu 14.04 is not supported since Sigil requires Qt >= 5.4<\/p>\n<p>1. Add PPA<\/p>\n<p>Open terminal from Unity Dash, App Launcher, or via Ctrl+Alt+T shortcut key. When it opens, paste below command and hit run:<\/p>\n<pre style=\"border:none;\">sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1\/sigil<\/pre>\n<p>Type in your password (no visual feedback just type in mind) when it asks and hit Enter to continue.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sigil-wily-ppa.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sigil-wily-ppa-600x73.jpg\" alt=\"Sigil PPA\" width=\"600\" height=\"73\" class=\"aligncenter\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>2.
