Are you looking for a basic simplistic calculator software program for Linux? You can try out Anetcalc, which was written in Python. You see Lubuntu Linux does not include a calculator software program when choosing their second option during installation.
I decided to create a very basic and simplistic calculator software program for Lubuntu Linux. However, I used Python graphical user interface builder also known as Pyuibuilder. I could have created it by using Python widgets with GTK3 support.
The first version was coded in Python 3 with Tkinter interface support. I just had to enable the "C" expression clear input button, for clearing the text input box. Also, I properly aligned the clear input button.
Finally, I modified the background and button colors. You can download two different versions of this basic simplistic calculator. One is written in Python using Tkinter interface support.
Download Anetcalc GTK 3 Version
OR
Download Anetcalc Tkinter Version
The second one is written also in Python with GIMP tookit also known as GTK3 support. Both calculators support the following features:
- Addition
- Clear
- Decimal
- Division
- Equals
- Multiplication
- Subtraction
The Python GTK 3 calculator supports any Linux operating distribution that includes GTK 3. The Python Tkinter calculator supports less Linux operating system distributions. They are both available for download in a compressed zip file.

How to Install Anetcalc
You will want to decompress the zip file. You can double click install.sh. You may need to choose Execute in Terminal.
The README.txt file has full instructions.
You will need Python 3 installed in order for them to function. The Tkinter version requires the Python Tkinter package. The GTK3 version requires GTK3 installed.
You can install Tkinter with this command if missing from your Linux distribution operating system:
pip install tkinter
or on Red Hat Linux distributions, for example, Suse, Fedora, etcetera:
yum install python3-tkinter.x86_64
or on Debian derivation Linux distributions, for example, Ubuntu, Lubuntu, etcetera:
sudo apt-get install python3-tk
GTK3 or newer is by default installed on many different Linux operating system distributions that use the Gnome desktop graphical user interface. If the calculator will not open, you may have an older or newer version of GTK installed. You will need to install GTK3 using your distributions installation instructions.
