According to this note in the PPA's project, the ppa was deprecated:

Toggl Desktop in launchpad is now deprecated. We have a new version out which can be downloaded here:

Luckily, they are providing a deb package ready to install in their GitHub repository. You need to install certain dependencies and use Ubuntu 64 bits. This won't work in Ubuntu 32-bits.

sudo apt-get install libc6 libdrm2 libexpat1 libffi6 libgcc1 libgl1-mesa-glx libglapi-mesa libglib2.0-0 libgstreamer0.10-0 libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 liblzma5 liborc-0.4-0 libpcre3 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libx11-xcb1 libxau6 libxcb1 libxcb-dri2-0 libxcb-dri3-0 libxcb-glx0 libxcb-present0 libxcb-sync1 libxcomposite1 libxdamage1 libxdmcp6 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxml2 libxrender1 libxshmfence1 libxslt1.1 libxss1 libxxf86vm1 zlib1g
cd ~/Downloads
sudo dpkg -i toggldesktop*.deb

"Why installing all those packages if the only dependency is libxssl?" you may ask. Simply, because the binary needs all of them. If you run ldd ToggleDesktop on the binary you may find:

All those libraries weren't included in the package "Depends" field, but the binary needs all of them.

There's another option if you want to use the application without installing it in your system, in which case you need to download the binaries packages from this page, download the Linux version using a browser (wget and curl seems to fail to do this). The file will normally be downloaded into your ~/Downloads directory. Uncompress the files:

$ ~/Downloads
$ tar xzf toggldesktop_*.tgz
$ ls
cacert.pem iconengines imageformats lib platforms

Now make sure that the following packages are already installed:

sudo apt-get install libc6 libdrm2 libexpat1 libffi6 libgcc1 libgl1-mesa-glx libglapi-mesa libglib2.0-0 libgstreamer0.10-0 libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 liblzma5 liborc-0.4-0 libpcre3 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libx11-xcb1 libxau6 libxcb1 libxcb-dri2-0 libxcb-dri3-0 libxcb-glx0 libxcb-present0 libxcb-sync1 libxcomposite1 libxdamage1 libxdmcp6 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxml2 libxrender1 libxshmfence1 libxslt1.1 libxss1 libxxf86vm1 zlib1g

Once this is done, just run ./TogglDesktop and ready.

Important notes from the installation page:

Toggl Desktop has been tested with Unity, Gnome and KDE in general should be working. There are known issues with LXDE.
At the moment there is only 64bit binary package available. 32bit version is planned. There are no distribution-specific packages available.

We don’t have a version for 32bit Linux, but you’re able to create it by following the instructions here:
They are working on adding a generic .deb package which should be usable on all (recent) Debian based distributions.
Currently, Toggl Desktop is only tested on Ubuntu. Most probably all recent Debian-based distributions will work, but they are untested.
Starting from Ubuntu 13.04 there is no tray (notification area icon) support.

Ubuntu 16.04

Download from

tar -vzxf ~/Downloads/toggldesktop_linux_x86_64-{VERSION}.tar.gz
sudo apt-get update && apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
~/Downloads/toggldesktop/TogglDesktop.sh

Note: Use Linux tarball to download .tar.gz and Linux deb for .deb

I first installed Toggl without reading this question.

sudo dpkg -i toggldesktop_7.4.528_amd64.deb

After installation, there was dependency error, then I searched on it. Finally I came here. But the installation steps seemed complex for me.

So I solved simply like this:

sudo apt --fix-broken install

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Download from:

deb package x64 or
tarball

No here is the catch, to run Toggl on Ubuntu 18.04 the dependency that you will need is libgstreamer0.10-0.

mbaric@i7 /mnt/podaci/Download $ sudo dpkg -i toggldesktop_7.4.122_amd64.deb
Selecting previously unselected package toggldesktop.
(Reading database ... 249888 files and directories currently installed.)

Errors were encountered while processing: toggldesktop

Since this package is not avaialble straight out of the box or on the repositories/PPA's that the come with regular install of Ubuntu.

So run next commands in your terminal:

wget
wget
sudo dpkg -i libgstreamer*.deb

Then let's re-run the installation of Toggl:

sudo dpkg -i toggldesktop_7.4.184_amd64.deb

Of course watch out for version that you downloaded, at the time I am writing this it's this one: toggldesktop_7.4.184_amd64.deb

Finally we run either in terminal: /opt/toggldesktop/TogglDesktop.sh or search for Toggle inside Show Applications and run Toggl

Have fun and I wish you smooth installation.
