How to install Thunderbird using Terminal? I don't want to download from Ubuntu Software

3
  • sudo apt install thunderbird which would install thunderbird | 1:91.8.0+build2-0ubuntu1 | jammy | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, s390x on my current box. You didn't provide any release details, but you'd get the appropriate version available for your unstated Ubuntu product. It's also available as snap package which has different versions available.

    Does this answer your question? Is there a difference between installing an application via Ubuntu Software Center or a terminal?

In terminal type sudo apt install thunderbird. Then it will ask for your password. Make sure to do sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade first. If that doesn't work (22.04) you have to add the mozilla repositorio first (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa), then update and upgrade then thunderbird.

Another way is to download the .deb file from the mozilla page, go to your downloads, rightclick and choose open terminal here and type sudo apt install name of the .deb file.

  • thunderbird is the Ubuntu repos, there is no need to add a ppa. It's in main, updates, and security.

  • OK, I thought that because Firefox is not anymore, Thunderbird would be neither. Thanks.
