To install on Ubuntu, get the deb file and 'dpkg -i ...'. However, you will get an error that libgoocanvas-2.0-9 is missing.

You will then 'sudo apt install' it, but get another message:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 inform7-ide : Depends: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0) but it is not going to be installed
 libgoocanvas-2.0-9 : Depends: libgoocanvas-2.0-common (= 2.0.4-1build1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

OK, so fix-broken it is.

...

And then it installs.

This is kind of like a text adventure itself.
