Advice installing PSPP on Ubuntu 20.04

rated 0 times [ 8] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 4905 / 2 Years ago, fri, january 14, 2022, 6:15:16

PSPP is an open source alternative to SPSS. Because of licensing issues it isn't in official Ubuntu repositories. I have found downloads available for Ubuntu 20.10 and 18.04 at https://pkgs.org/download/pspp but I run 20.04 and don't want to upgrade. Am I out of luck or is there a safe choice for me? (I can follow directions but am not really adept at Linux yet - just switched over.) Thx.

You can install PSPP by using its package and dependencies from 20.10.

cd ~/Downloads

wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gsl/libgsl25_2.6+dfsg-2_amd64.deb

wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gsl/libgslcblas0_2.6+dfsg-2_amd64.deb

wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/spread-sheet-widget/libspread-sheet-widget_0.6-3_amd64.deb

wget -c http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pspp/pspp_1.4.0-3_amd64.deb



sudo apt-get install ./libgsl25_2.6+dfsg-2_amd64.deb ./libgslcblas0_2.6+dfsg-2_amd64.deb ./libspread-sheet-widget_0.6-3_amd64.deb ./pspp_1.4.0-3_amd64.deb

And then launch it from menu or with psppire command.
