I'm following a tutorial in which they worked with sketch (only available on Mac), a program to package and mount applications, for example in React.

I searched for information and saw that figma can give me the services I sketch in Linux, but I can not find a way to install any of the two in my Ubuntu.

Can you give me any idea of how to install any of these programs that support the export of zeplin. Thank you.

  • does the Flutter code-gen work on the Linux version? https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/844008530039534144/FigmaToFlutter – mLstudent33 Sep 06 '21 at 04:14

The short answer

To install Figma:

Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

sudo snap install --edge figma

If snap isn't installed, just do:

sudo apt install snap

If you get the error:

error: snap "figma" not found

Download the Figma snap package, and run

sudo snap install --dangerous figma_0.4_amd64.snap

You can use gdebi. If you don't have it installed, you can install it by running:

sudo apt install gdebi

Download either the 64 Bit, or the 32Bit version depending on your system.

Once installed, open the downloaded file with gdebi, and click on file --> Open Choose the package you've downloaded, and open it. Once opened, just click Install.

Edit:

The command for latest versions of Ubuntu should be updated. for 16.04 and later

sudo snap install figma-linux

Thanks to Fireball.1
