I tried the CLI text you so kindly posted, and ran into this snag:

It hung on the install Okular line.I tried the last one to see if some magic would happen, but no. Wondering if this has something to do with the same error I got trying to install via software updater
Edit: also tried the suggestion from the CLI, and it gave me this:

Edit again: I installed via the software updater and it worked, but I am lost in this program. Can't find anything. None of what is supposed to be in the tools options is there. No Typewriter, for instance, which is probably the thing I need the most.
Egads. I'm too much of a neophyte in Linux to figure out those errors, but I'm sure someone else here can.
Did the first install method work for you? - The one you asked about?
Update: I managed to get it to install via the software updater dealio. And, disregard my last edit in the previous post. I had opened a locked pdf to test, and it would not allow me to use the text tools. Now seems to be all there, when you hit "review" or f6, you get a popup menu on the sidebar that has the different text box options.
I'm glad it worked out for you. Enjoy!
