This is the Ubuntu 18.04 .deb package converted to snap, because in Ubuntu 20.04, there is no ckermit package. Just as I did with Gnash. See https://raymii.org/s/blog/Ive_packaged_up_CKermit_as_a_snap_for_Ubuntu_20.04.html for more info on the snap, and https://www.kermitproject.org/ for more info on kermit. The snap source code is here: https://github.com/RaymiiOrg/ckermit-snap
This is not an official kermit-project package.
C-Kermit is a combined network and serial communication software package offering a consistent, transport-independent, cross-platform approach to connection establishment, terminal sessions, file transfer, file management, character-set translation, numeric and alphanumeric paging, and automation of file transfer and management, dialogs, and communication tasks through its built-in scripting language.
The Kermit Project originated at Columbia University in New York City in 1981 and remained there for 30 years. Since 2011 it is independent.
Setup
In order to access a serial port over USB (ttyUSB0 for example, you need to add your user to the dailout group and connect the snap to the raw-usb socket.
Open a terminal window, run the following commands an reboot your computer.
> sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER
> sudo snap connect ckermit-raymii:raw-usb
Now restart your computer and you're good to go!

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
If you’re running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install ckermit-raymii, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install ckermit-raymii
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
