Balsamiq offers a direct .deb file to install Mockups on Linux. Follow these steps:
- You still need to install Adobe AIR 2.6 from the archives.
- Then download the .deb file of Mockups from http://www.balsamiq.com/download
- Install GDebi using
sudo apt-get install gdebi
(On Ubuntu 12.10 .deb files can't be installed easily anymore. Also opening the .deb file with the Software Center doesn't work. So use GDebi, see https://askubuntu.com/a/110086/16480) - Then open the downloaded Mockups .deb with GDebi package installer (right click in Nautilus).
- Click the install button in GDebi to install the .deb file normally
- Find Balsamiq Mockups in the applications!
