Addon Install

You can install the xpi file as a Firefox addon. To do this, drag the xpi file from your documents to Firefox. It should show a popup asking you about installing the package.

    Pencil either runs as a Firefox extension or as a standalone application with XULRunner 1.9.2.

    Trying to install XULRunner:

    rich@rich-laptop:~/apps/pencil$ sudo apt-get install xulrunner-1.9.2 
    [sudo] password for rich: 
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    Package xulrunner-1.9.2 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source
    
    E: Package 'xulrunner-1.9.2' has no installation candidate
    

    So I tried to install it using Firefox by clicking on the install button on the Pencil home page, and the .xpi file was downloaded and opened by an archive manager.

    Any ideas?
