mintinstall is available in mint packages:

  1. Add the repository:
 sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ elsie main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mint.list'
  1. run an update to retrieve information about what packages are available:
sudo apt-get update

You'll see an error in the update highlighting that public key is not available for the Linux Mint repository just added:

GPG error: http://packages.linuxmint.com elsie main: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY

  1. To avoid this, run another command to download the Linux Mint keyring:
sudo apt-get install linuxmint-keyring

if it ask your permission to download, say yes.

  1. Once downloaded, update your package database again:
sudo apt-get update
  1. then you can install mint software center (or any other package from mint elsie main package):
sudo apt install mintinstall
