Install from PPA

As alternative to AppImage version Ubuntu users can install native packages from NixNote PPA (https://launchpad.net/~nixnote) using:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nixnote/nixnote2-stable -y -u && \
  sudo apt install nixnote2 -y

For the PPA version the desktop icon should work out of the box and also it will be automatically updated (as its usual for other Ubuntu packages).

Currently automatic updates and theme-ing only work with native packages.

For more details (history/etc) see issue #6..

PPA url change 2018.09

Unfortunately in the process of creating the PPA, I make a mistake and needed to change the PPA url... twice.. If you happen to install from one of the deprecated PPAs - execute following to commands to update to the new one. Note that the switch will change binary and package name from nixnote21 to original nixnote2.

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:robert7/nixnote21 -y
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:nixnote/nixnote21 -y
sudo apt remove nixnote21 -y 

Afterwards install from new PPA (see top of this page).
