Bellow installation procedure uses only command line approach, because this is the simpler way to follow instructions just by copy-pasting the commands in terminal. This instructions are tested with the currently supported versions of Ubuntu.
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys AA716FC2
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://www.ap-i.net/apt stable main'
Note: If you would like to install development version of Skychart instead of stable version, then replace word “stable” with “unstable” in above and bellow command.
sudo apt-add-repository --remove 'deb-src http://www.ap-i.net/apt stable main'

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends skychart
sudo apt-get install skychart-data-stars skychart-data-dso skychart-data-pictures
