Ubuntu packages are available from an Ubuntu PPA for the following Ubuntu release:
- Ubuntu 16.04 "Xenial" Xerus
- Ubuntu 18.04 "Bionic" Beaver
- Ubuntu 20.04 "Focal" Fossa
- Ubuntu 22.04 "Jammy" Jellyfish

To add the PPA and install rom-properties, run the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gerbilsoft/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rom-properties-all
This will install all rom-properties frontends and executables. Individual frontends can be installed by installing the relevant rom-properties-* package.
NOTE: If upgrading from v2.1 or earlier, you may get a file conflict regarding /usr/share/thumbnailers/rom-properties.thumbnailer. This file was moved from rom-properties-gtk3 to rom-properties-utils so it can be used by the GTK4 UI frontend. You will need to manually remove rom-properties-gtk3 before upgrading.
NOTE: If upgrading from v2.0, you may get a dependency error due to libromdata1. You will need to uninstall libromdata1 before upgrading.
