It's not recommandable to use this in Debian. It's for Ubuntu-Systems only to add launchpad-ppa. The package with this command is software-properties-common in Ubuntu.
for those with an eye for the finer details...

Thanks for your feedback. There are 2 apps I want to install, and both have a Debian/Ubuntu procedure which uses add-apt-repository. I will not use that because of the dangers.

1. For Typora there is Typora-linux-x64.tar.gz
Is that usable in antiX? If so, please describe the newbie steps :-)

2. For Keepass there is a portable version which apparently can be run as follows:

Code: Select all

mono keepass.exe
Apparently "mono" is not present in antiX, so should I install it? If so, please describe the newbie steps :-)

Many thanks for any help you can provide.

Thanks for the tip. I did the search and the only one that was listed was Yubikey. Yubikey went from open source to closed source: not acceptable for me.

the mono-runtime is an open source implementation of Microsofts .NET framework. No way for me. Popular apps like pinta depends on this. For installation use the terminal

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install mono-runtime mono-runtime-common

Many people prefer keepassX or its even better community fork, keepassXC, to keepass2. Neither of those use Mono. However, you have a choice of all of these in either the Debian, stretch-backports, or MX repos:

https://repology.org/metapackage/keepass/versions
https://repology.org/metapackage/keepassxc/versions

Though it look like I need to update keepass2.

For Typora, to add the repo, instead of

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://typora.io/linux ./'
instead become root in a terminal and run

Code: Select all

echo 'deb https://typora.io/linux ./' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/typora.list
The rest of the instructions are OK as written on the website.

(tested and works in Stretch-based MX 17/18, Typora does install and start up)

@Stevo: I had looked at those 2 as well, did not realise they don't need mono.
I believe KeepassX has been abandoned, hence Keepass XC. Keepass XC is still more limited in its capabilities than Keepass2. I may have to compromise. If I would like to try Keepass2 with mono, what is the way to install mono?

Could I run Keepass2 as a portable with mono?

@Stevo: many thanks for this !! I am happy there is a way. I will keep these instructions until they become 2nd nature.
