I would like to try the calendar app from Elementary OS in vanilla Ubuntu. I followed the instructions in Maya Calendar from Elementary OS on Ubuntu, but they don't seem to work anymore; I guess the repo is outdated.

Is there a more recent source? Is that app still working in 2020, or has it been abandoned?

According to repology.org and then OpenSuSe Build Service this package had latest version public of 0.4.1.

The upstream repository is at GitHub - https://github.com/elementary/calendar .

In the Ubuntu is it available from “elementary OS team” daily PPA.
So we need to get and install one dependency first:

cd ~/Downloads
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libh/libhandy-1/libhandy-1-0_1.0.0-2_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./libhandy-1-0_1.0.0-2_amd64.deb

and then use PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install maya-calendar

Then run it from menu or from terminal by io.elementary.calendar.

Note: visually this application looks very similar to the default GNOME Calendar application, I'm not sure about functionality differences.

    Thanks! This works, minus some theme trouble (the default font is white and only looks well on dark themes). Functionally, it seems quite different from gnome-calendar; if I understand correctly the codebase is from California, another abandoned calendar application for Gnome.

  • ⚠️ I would suggest to install from the "stable" channel rather than the "daily": sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/stable.
