I have developed (free) software, more precisely, a development environment or a code editor called "Lines". On the web I have set up installation packages for Windows and Linux, but I would like the application to be available as an "apt" package on linux systems. The easiest way to do this (and not get tired) is?

By the way, software and installation packages are available at https://creatixbih.com/lines/ Thank you.

Since I'm not really a "linux" guru, I've been trying to find an automated solution.

First you need to create a DEB package, you can read more about it here.

The easiest way to get your package into huge repositories would be to submit your package to Debian, where Ubuntu is based off. A detailed explanation can be found here.

Another good method would be to host your OWN apt repository which is being explained here
