Which software manager there are several, Muon, Synaptic...?

Kicad should be in the main repo

I would first try to install libglew2.2 on it's own.
2.2.0-4 is available for jammy 22.04LTS so it should install.

The requirement is >= libglew2.2.0-4) so check exactly what version you
have in your repo lists, as has been mentioned make sure you have run
update - the base download install WILL NOT contain the latest versions of
things.

Installing Kicad 5 might not be what you want, but it MIGHT install the
correct libs, especially if Kicad is in the main repo.

(The problem does sound very much like you have not got the latest
updates)

If you really really get stuck, the flatpak version should run.

I ran that when my previous Linux install SUSE got upset when SUSE messed
up the latest version ant the time, and packages vanished from the reop
which made life rather hard, hence the move to debian.

It's quite usable as is but the sandboxing flatpak does caused me a few
issues with additional drive access. If you just run it as-is then it's
OK.

I don't use Ubuntu as a main OS (I have Kbuntu on an old laptop and kicad
5 is listed in the repo) I use debian on the workstation, and i had to
jump through a few hoops getting Kicad6 installed.

First, have you followed the instructions here:



It gives two methods, one of which is the command line option that you
have listed.

If install via the software manager as suggested does not work I would
suggest that you try installing the Kicad version in the provided repos,
which will usually be Kicad 5.9 something

If that installs OK then you are not missing something important in the
basic install.

Other than that then as has been suggested it's a dive into the output of
apt.

I am looking to migrate from Windows 10 to Ubuntu
"ubuntu-22.04.1-desktop-amd64" and have tried several suggestions
including the following via the shell :-

|sudo add-apt-repository --yes ppa:kicad/kicad-6.0-releases sudo apt
update sudo apt install --install-recommends kicad|

They all fail in a similar way it was unable to install certain
dependant libraries (I'll try to get a screen dump tomorrow).

Any help/advice welcome.
