Steps to install and use WoeUSB on Ubuntu Linux

Method 1 - Using PPA repository

1. Add WoeUSB PPA repository

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tomtomtom/woeusb -y

sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y

Error

If you get the following error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
woeusb : Depends: libwxgtk3.0-0v5 (>= 3.0.4+dfsg) but it is not installable

Then, first, we have to install the libwxgtk3.0 manually. Here is the command to do that:

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/w/wxwidgets3.0/libwxgtk3.0-0v5_3.0.4+dfsg-3_amd64.deb

Now, install it:

sudo dpkg -i filename
# Replace the filename with the package you downloaded above, e.g.
# sudo dpkg -i libwxgtk*_amd64.deb

Finally, install WoeUSB, this time you will not get any error at all.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install woeusb woeusb-frontend-wxgtk -y
