Ubuntu 20.04 libgnome

Question

I need to run a .sh file. But, when I run it, it gives me an error

sh: 1: gnome-open: not found

Then, I realize I need to have gnome-open, but it is not installed in Ubuntu 20.04. How can I install it? As I research, I found out that it is related with libgnome2 but I do not know how to install it. There is a related question here libgnome-2.0 missing from 20.04. Thank you.

As the link to the other question says it is not supported in 20.04 — David, Feb 21 '21 at 14:00
Edit Line 1 of the script to use a newer alternative. See What can I use instead of gnome-open? for alternatives. — user535733, Feb 21 '21 at 14:06
@user535733 I am going to try it in couple of hours, I will edit here. Thanks! — efe373, Feb 21 '21 at 14:33
I think it is encrytped. There are lots of weird characters, I cannot edit it. — efe373, Feb 21 '21 at 15:19

You can create local wrapper:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/xdg-open /usr/local/bin/gnome-open
