The above package allows for running monero-wallet-cli but there's no corresponding monero-wallet-gui unfortunately.

    You can install the flatpak: first, install flatpak, then do flatpak install flathub org.getmonero.Monero. See flathub.org/apps/org.getmonero.Monero.

  • incidentally, the cli wallet on apt is out of date and won't fully update due to a fork. It would be nice if the cli wallet were migrated out of apt and to flatpak for that reason. Not saying anything, just sayin'.

There is a Monero GUI available as a flatpak install. The website is this: https://flathub.org/apps/org.getmonero.Monero

Installation instructions for flatpak are here: https://flatpak.org/setup/Ubuntu

In short, first install flatpak:

sudo apt install flatpak

Then install the Monero GUI:

flatpak install flathub org.getmonero.Monero

and run it with:

flatpak run org.getmonero.Monero
