The only problem I found is that it isn't open source. It is no longer being actively developed and it isn't the newest version but it works very well and has all the features and functionality of the Windows and Mac versions. Its developers removed all feature restrictions and registration requirements. Scrivener for Linux is now available as an Appimage. Many thanks to everyone who replied it is very helpful Ideally, that is what I would like: to be able to import my work keeping the formatting as close to original as possible with the ability to compile in Epub or Paperback formats. I have not tried that in the Linux version. Scrivener in Windows will compile the book in several different formats so that I can preview what the finished product will look like. This is a pretty large project, a novel I have written which totals a little over 250 manuscript pages. That laptop is fairly meaty (AMD A10 with 8GB RAM) and Windows is still slow at molasses and very unstable. Scrivener (paid version) works great in Windows, its just Windows that is terrible. When I installed it, it was missing some dependencies and wouldn't run at first, but that was sorted. If I had started the project in Linux in the first place, I probably would not have had any issues. I am a member of the Scrivener forum and a number of Linux users report the same issue. However, when I import the project that I started in the Windows version, it results in a number of formatting errors that I have to go back and correct, very time consuming. Yes, I have Scrivener 1.9 Linux installed on 18.04. You can export the entire document or parts to various formats.Thank you for your reply. You have to use it to see how useful it can be for many applications from authoring to coding (see embedded code boxes in tree nodes). I have Scrivener Linux working on Ubuntu 16.04.Ĭherrytree allows a tree structure of chapters and sections to be moved around in an xml tree. Last edited by dragonfly41 June 6th, 2018 at 08:55 PM.

I am adding reference to a trusty little note editor - cherrytree - found in Ubuntu software centre.Ĭherrytree allows a tree structure of chapters and sections to be moved around in an xml tree. And for authoring I would look at Markdown and convert to any other format using pandoc.Īnother approach would be to look at scribus. If you are looking for an alternative editor take a look at Atom editor plus plugins. The developers have simply decided to donate the Linux version and not charge licence fee as in the Windows version. I have Scrivener Linux working on Ubuntu 16.04. There used to be a Linux version of Scrivener, but they have discontinued itThat is not quite the case.
