Mendeley Desktop won't install on ubuntu 16.04
Mendeley Desktop simply fails to install on Ubuntu 16.04. I have followed all the instructions here. Ubuntu software launches when I click the download and I hit "Install" but then nothing happens.
Another poster also had trouble with Mendeley and 16.04. As suggested by answers there, I ran
sudo apt-get install libqtsvg4-perl libqtwebkit4
and
sudo apt install qt4-dev-tools
to no avail. When I type
mendeleydesktop
in the terminal, the output is:
mendeleydesktop: command not found

I've just installed mendeley downloading te package directly from the website https://www.mendeley.com/download-mendeley-desktop/ubuntu/instructions/ , and open it with the software installation, or install it following the installation steps for a Debian package. It works for me.
