Installing Kate editor in Ubuntu 16.04

I recently updated my Ubuntu to 16.04. I need to install Kate editor but it doesn't appear in the Ubuntu Software. Is there any way to install Kate Editor in Ubuntu 16.04?

Try opening a terminal window (Alt+Ctrl+T) and typing the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install kate

Please let me know if this was helpful or if you run into any problems.

It is part of Universe so should be available on an updated system that has universe enabled.

So ...

• Do you have this disabled perhaps? (You can add it with sudo add-apt-repository universe).
• Did you install Ubuntu 16.04 and not update the system yet? (sudo apt update to update it).

And ...

sudo apt install kate

should install it.

I installed the appimage version because I found the ubuntu version is different (e.g. doesn't have the regex search functionality).

The way I did that: see this Q/A on stackoverflow.
