I am using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on x86-64.

Also, the light grey text on mosml.org is extremely hard to read on the white background.

There is actually a .deb file you can get by following the links on the PPA page, and it does work on my system. I'd recommend just linking directly to that.

Thanks for the report. I'm afraid all the installers have fallen behind.

The right solution for Ubuntu would be an up-to-date PPA. However, if the .deb works on current systems, then maybe I just just link directly.
