How to Install Unofficial Microsoft OneNote on Ubuntu Linux

This brief tutorial shows students and new users how to install the unofficial Microsoft OneNote client app on Ubuntu 18.04 | 16.04.

It allows teams and users to communicate and collaborate and integrates with Office 365.

For Linux users, the official OneNote app is not available. You’ll have to settle for an unofficial OneNote app for Linux to get OneNote on Ubuntu and other Linux distributions.

This app uses the web app and wraps it as a standalone application using Electron to use a browser window and serve it as a desktop application.
