[ubuntu-studio-users] Installing Scrivener

[Tommy Tolson]

We're having a bit of a miscommunication, I'm afraid.
I would like to get Scrivener for Linux to run on Ubuntu Studio.
So I'm interested in finding out how to properly install Scrivener for 
Linux on Ubuntu Studio.
Can that happen?
Thanks again.

Smiles.
Tommy
