I downloaded the .deb file of Remarkable Markdown editor in Ubuntu 20.04. As soon as I started to run the .deb file, it is showing the following error:

Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: gir1.2-webkit-3.0

As far as I know, WebKit is a browser engine for Apple Products. I do not know why it is required on Linux. Any help in resolving this will be very much appreciated.

    The package is not apple specific; apple just use it. But if you look at packages.ubuntu.com/… you'll note it's deprecated and out-of-date. Refer packages.ubuntu.com/…

  • You can run sudo apt --fix-broken install to install all the dependencies after installing the deb package.

    Based on this GitHub issue, the project seems pretty much abandoned. The developer is not even doing anything with the multiple fixes that people have offered 🤐

You can still install Remarkable on Ubuntu from Snap by using command below:

snap install remarkable

But better way is to use its modern and mature alternative named ReText. It is installable from official repositories by

sudo apt-add-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install retext

Here is a fix for installing Remarkable 1.87 with .deb file format that worked for me and others.

although I recommend install it via gdebi instead of dpkeg -i by this command

sudo gdebi <your deb file.deb>

for remarkable use this:

sudo gdebi remarkable_1.18_.deb

Note: if you don't have gdebi install it :

sudo apt install gdei

Hope this helps others
