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!
