On Ubuntu you need to compile ToxCore, Libsodium, and filter_audio by hand. Someone already wrote on how to achieve this, simply follow the guide to Install ToxCore.

After ToxCore is installed, run the following line to fetch & install the dependencies needed by Ricin to compile/run.

# Required to build Ricin:
$ apt-get install python3 valac

# Required by Ricin at runtime:
$ apt-get install gtk+3 libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-dev \
  libjson-glib-1.0-0 libjson-glib-dev libnotify-dev \
  libsoup-gnome2.4-dev

Note: You may have to sudo both lines in order to have them running properly.

$ pacman -S python3 vala gtk3 toxcore \
