So Ubuntu 18.04 comes with the 2015 release. On the download page it says
this. But then it says :

Does this mean it should work on Ubuntu 18.04 after doing this, because it
doesn't?

Then I tried the app image version for other Linux and that says there is
no application installed for app image bundle files.

Then I tried:
deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/t-paul/xUbuntu_18.04/
./

But I don't seem to have deb and apt-get intall deb doesn't know of it.

Is the only way to get it on Ubuntu 18.04 to build it from source?

That's odd. I don't know what that means. The normal process
for AppImages is 1) download 2) make executable 3) run.

This line needs to go into into the file /etc/apt/sources.list
or alternatively create a new file, e.g. openscad-nightly.list,
in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ with just that line.

After that it should be picked up by the distro software tools,
so apt-get update && apt-get install openscad-nightly should
work.

Ubuntu should also be able to install the Snap package, but I
would not really recommend using that as this makes it run in
a container which means working with files is a bit annoying.

Oh, I now see, you mean chmod +x, I thought you meant make an executable,
i.e. build it in some way.

Yes after chmod + x the appimage just runs.

Hmm, the file is there (for 64bit only).

Any error at that point? Depending on the system setup, the
signing key is mandatory for the package to be accepted.

Oh, now I see the issue, that repo line is wrong. Please use exactly
what's posted on the download page, including the trailing / and the
single dot separated by a space and remove the "bionic universe" part.
