Genealogy and the Software Boutique

In the section under OFFICE the only genealogy program is GRAMPS which I do no care for. I have recently come across a program called ancestris which I find quite good and was wondering if it would work in the Boutique. it is at ancestris.org and it comes in a deb package and I believe it has a PPA. Thanks for your consideration.

This sounds quite interesting.

Sadly there is no apt repository, PPA or snap so it can’t be added to the Boutique :slightly_frowning_face:

On there website it looks like they have a PPA. See below:

Ubuntu
This tutorial describes the installation of Ancestris (K, X, L, U) buntu 12.04, 14.04 and 16.04.

// Official release - version 0.9
Step 1 : You can add the PPA to your system with a single line in your terminal. Open a terminal and enter:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ancestris/ancestris-9-0

Just copy and paste the above line in a terminal.

To open a terminal, go to “Applications” then “Accessories” and then you’ll find “Terminal.” if not le forum d’Ubuntu, we explain how to do).

Step 2 : Update your repository

In the terminal, enter :

sudo apt-get update

Step 3 : Installation of Ancestris

then :

sudo apt-get install ancestris

Then, everything will be automated. You’ll be notified each time a new version is available.
