The steps I did
RUN>>
locate libgnome-keyring.so /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0
FOUND as>>>
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0
TEN RUN Symlink>>
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0
FOR 64 bit use
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0
DOWNLOAD Air and install>>
http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/lin/download/2.6/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
sudo chmod +x ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
[Adobe AIR could not be installed. Install either Gnome Keyring or KDE KWallet before installing Adobe AIR.]
"error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
So, you will need to install the 32bit libs:
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libnss3-1d:i386 libnspr4-0d:i386 lib32nss-mdns libxml2:i386 libxslt1.1:i386
DOWNLOAD for 32 or 64bit>>
http://builds.balsamiq.com/b/mockups-desktop/MockupsForDesktop32bit.deb
http://builds.balsamiq.com/b/mockups-desktop/MockupsForDesktop64bit.deb
RUN Install>>
sudo dpkg -i ./MockupsForDesktop32bit.deb
>> UI Installer will complete without errors
>> launch app from app search/launcher as balsamiq

Copy link

the .deb file is no longer available at that url.

However, Mockups 3 is installable via wine (confirmed w/ wine v 1.6.2 in Ubuntu 15.10):

wget https://builds.balsamiq.com/mockups-desktop/Balsamiq_Mockups_3.3.5_bundled.zip -O balsamiq.zip
unzip balsamiq.zip
cd Balsamiq_Mockups_3
wine Balsamiq\ Mockups\ 3.exe
