        I searched for it in the libertine installer, and the Lubuntu software centre, but was unable to find it.
        I usually install it on Debian type machines by:

        sudo apt install magic-wormhole
        

        This is the developer's site : https://magic-wormhole.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

        This is how it works if anyone is interested. : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFrTqQw0_3c

        I recently started using this software and I absolutely love it. It would be awesome to use it on my phone.

          From what you explain, I guess there is probably not a package available for arm architecture for your software.
          You can still try to cross-compile it yourself...

              Sure,
              First I'll have a look there: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/appdev/index.html#tools
              Have a look at how clickable works and how to add dependencies to the click.

              So, to summarize it you'll need to:

              • Create a project
              • Add dependencies so the docker image of ubuntu for arm will install them
              • And finally build the project within this docker image.

              Clickable is a great tool and it makes life easier. But integrating dependencies and building can be as well straightfoward or a real PITA 😉

              Best of luck

                  As it happens magic-wormhole has an arm version available, since it's been developped for rapsberry pi: http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/m/magic-wormhole/
                  here are the various deb packages. I tried to install one of them through libertine and it doesn't work. I'll try again though

                    @AppLee maybe I could try in a rapsbian container, rather than xenial ?

                      IIRC Rasbian is at least in 18.04 if the difference lies here, then porting magic-wormhole to 16.04 might become more tricky.
                      But I guess you can try ; at least you'll have a hint regarding your problem.
