Preparing to Install BALSAMIQ on KUBUNTU 14.04

balsamiq_install_ubuntu.sh

# gnome-keyring is required by AIR, gdebi is required to install the balsamiq 
# package which will fail as “bad quality” in the Ubuntu Software Center. You can 
# skip the gdebi install if you’re using X File Package (or probably anything 
# other than Ubuntu Software Center) to install .deb packages.
sudo apt-get install gnome-keyring gdebi gdebi-core

# Lots of sites say you need to install ia32-libs, which don’t exist in the Ubuntu 
# repositories. Here is what’s required (taken from this post on askubuntu.com 
# http://askubuntu.com/questions/404160/cannot-install-adobe-air-on-13-10-i386-pkgs-dont-exist
# and this other post on askubuntu.com http://askubuntu.com/a/440540/8750 )
