Right! I realised afterward, I had downloaded it, but obviously conditions have changed. None of this was obvious then. I just downloaded the beta from here: https://typora.io/#linux Once it's in your apt.sources list, it pulls in all the pandoc and other packages required (a considerable number). But the amount of space and the loading time I didn't like, so uninstalled it. I have still to check out ghostwriter. Cheers!
