If you are using an Arch-based system, you can easily install it via an AUR helper like yay:
yay -S edrawmax
Problem: Ubuntu 21.04 moved to OpenSSL 1.1.x and 3.0, but EdrawMax 2021 was compiled against 1.0.0.
Solution: Download and install the older OpenSSL manually (use with caution):
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl1.0/libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5_amd64.deb
If you are running a newer kernel on Ubuntu 21.10 or later, older EdrawMax .deb files might complain about libssl or libcrypto libraries. EdrawMax often links against older versions of OpenSSL.
The easiest and most stable way to install EdrawMax on Ubuntu 2021 is by using the Debian package provided by EdrawSoft.
Step 1: Download the Linux Installer
Open your web browser and navigate to the official EdrawMax download page. As of 2021, the Linux version is listed under "Other Platforms."
Alternatively, you can use wget in the terminal. Open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and run:
cd ~/Downloads
wget https://www.edrawsoft.com/download/edrawmax-linux-64.deb
(Note: The exact URL may change. Always check the official site for the latest 2021 link.)
Step 2: Install Using dpkg
Once the download is complete, use the Debian package manager to install it.
sudo dpkg -i edrawmax-linux-64.deb
Step 3: Fix Missing Dependencies
The above command might throw errors regarding missing libraries (e.g., libgtk-3-0 or libnotify). To automatically resolve and install these dependencies, run:
sudo apt-get install -f
This command will pull all required dependencies from the Ubuntu 2021 repositories.
Step 4: Launch EdrawMax
Once complete, you can launch EdrawMax either by:
Navigate to the directory containing the EdrawMax installer and run:
cd ~/Downloads
wine edrawmax-cn-12.0.0.exe
The installer will launch. Follow these steps:
Solution: Disable hardware acceleration inside EdrawMax:
nano "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/users/$USER/AppData/Roaming/EdrawSoft/EdrawMax/config.ini"
Add:

In 2021, some Linux license activations failed online. Use offline method:
EdrawMax on Ubuntu supports Wondershare Cloud, but Google Drive and OneDrive integration may fail in the Snap version due to sandboxing. Use the AppImage if you need native cloud sync.
