step by step how to instal and START (RUN, TURN ON, PLAY etc.)---> ubuntu 21.10 x64
I don't think it is available to run the aiStarter emulator on Ubuntu. The only devices supported are GNU, Linux, Windows and Mac.

I do not know the distribution and the characteristics of Ubuntu, maybe you can take a look at that webpage.

Ubuntu is a Linux distribution based on Debian and composed mostly of free and open-source software
Ubuntu - Wikipedia
?? I'm dumb or? ...
you might want to download a third-party emulator, install the Companion app on it and type the code and connect and it should work
and the next hours looking for a "companion" ... because you don't know what and how ... laughs. Linux wants to be user-friendly for 30 years and does the opposite.
Did you search the community?

I myself use GenyMotion on Linux Mint.

At the bottom of this page you can find the companion apk.

so no one knows how to run the inventor app on ubuntu?
If I couldn't use a search engine, I wouldn't end up here.
Like @Peter, I run genymotion on Xubuntu 20.04, much easier/better than using the AI2 emulator....

We don't like it when you use all capitals. That is like shouting and we don't shout here.
Just go to the genymotion link and see how to install it.

nothing. I've already done it. Nothing happens and nothing starts.
This is not helpful....
Explain / show what you see...at each step...
I typed this into the terminal, did some work and finished the installation. And nothing. No command starts either the emulator or anything. I also installed through the package manager (filetype .deb *) after installing it also can't start.
Why?
Please show the terminal output for each stage in the process....
now i have something what not was yesterday.
I dont know what to do, what paste in terminal. LINUX IS FOR PROGRAMMERS - and i'm not so i want learn with blocks. But.. i must learn programming to install app to learn programming. XDDDDDDDD
You have already been advised once about using capitals in your posts. Please do not do this. You have formatting such as bold/italic/title available to emphasis text.
Installation Commands required:
cd

To install AI2 Starter on Linux requires no programming knowledge, you just have to type some commands into a terminal to execute them. All the commands are done in the terminal to avoid having to keep switching between various GUI programs in order to complete the task.
When you first open a terminal in linux (Windows key + T) or click on an icon in your menu
It will open at your logged in users home directory, e.g. /home/OMGlinuxIS
When you type just cd and press Enter, the terminal will take you directly to this location:
username@computername:~$
It is from here you will enter each of the commands needed, and press Enter. You do these one at a time. If administrator (sudo) permission rights are needed, you prefix the command with sudo, and on the first occasion linux will ask you for a your password.
Just carefully work your way through each line in the list, one by one. If you get any errors reported, note these down (or copy them) and report back here.

Looks to me like you ran all the commands at once ? This can work, but it is better to do them one at a time. The cd to Downloads assumes a Downloads folder in your home directory (this should be there by default). It also assumes that you have downloaded the appinventor2-setup_2.3_all.deb file, in order to be able to install it. If it is in your home directory then you do not need to change to another directory to run the dpkg command.
