How to Install Mapmap on Ubuntu 20.04

I tried to install mapmap (projection maping software) on Ubuntu 20.04 in this link But when I execute commands, I get this error E: The repository ' focal Release' does not have a Release file.

and when i trying: sudo apt-get install mapamp

I get this error:

E: Unable to locate package mapamp

So, that there any way for resolving this issue or is there any software like that for Ubuntu?

The PPA has not seen an update since February of 2017. If you want to install via an apt package, you will need to use 14.04, which is EOL, or 16.04, which will be EOL in a little over a month. Looking at the GitHub repository for the project, it seems to be primarily focused on macOS, though you may be able to compile it from source if you’re willing to debug. I say this last bit because the build status appears suspect:

If you would like to give compiling a try, the instructions can be found here.

Good luck 👍🏻

Really you have two options:

  • Download MapMap deb-package from the mentioned PPA and install it:

    cd ~/Downloads
    wget 
    sudo apt-get install ./mapmap_0.5.0-2~xenial~ppa1_amd64.deb
    
  • Clone source code of newest MapMap code and compile it:

    sudo apt-get install git
    cd ~/Downloads
    git clone 
    cd mapmap
    
    sudo apt-get install -y liblo-dev liblo-tools qttools5-dev-tools \
    qtmultimedia5-dev libqt5opengl5-dev qtwebengine5-dev \
    libqt5multimedia5-plugins qt5-default
    
    sudo apt-get install -y libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev \
    gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-vaapi \
    gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-base-apps \
    gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-x \
    gstreamer1.0-tools
    
    qmake mapmap.pro
    make
    

    then run it with

    ./mapmap
