The deb package is not installable as is on Ubuntu 16.04 because it doesn't depend on the right libpoppler version:

bladernr@galactica:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i nixnote2-2.0-beta7_amd64.deb

16.04 uses libpoppler57 and the highest the deb is looking for is 52.

I have, however, been able to successfully install and run nixnote2 by downloading the tarball and using hte install.sh script, so the code itself so far seems OK with libpoppler57, it just seems to be a packaging issue.

    Should be fixed in the next release.
