Hello Utopians & Steemians, this tutorial is for anyone who wants to build the linux desktop wallet for the Steem blockchain from the source code on Ubuntu; and this is what it will look like as a result.
It is called Vessel (for now), my thanks go to 
Let's update and install some dependencies:
sudo apt-get update
Install node js if you do not have it.
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy
Install npm if you do not have it:
sudo apt-get install npm
Install snapcraft, even if you do not plan to install the snap
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends -y snapcraft
For your information, if you do not install this, you will get these errors:
Update your nodejs:
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n latest
Install yarn:
sudo npm install -g yarn
Get the source code of the Vessel wallet:
git clone https://github.com/aaroncox/vessel.git
cd vessel
Let the configurator install the node js dependencies:
yarn install
Get the wallet built:
npm run package-linux
Install the newly created wallet:
cd release
sudo dpkg -i vessel_0.2.3_amd64.deb
You will find the wallet installed and available in your apps screen:
After running it, you will get the wallet as shown in the top image of this post!
Have a great day and let's keep making Steem better by our actions everyday.
