While I prefer to use QGroundControl as my ground station, there are still reasons now and again that onlt mission planner can do the job. Mission planner does not have native support for linux, but it is still possible to use via mono.
Those instructions were tested on Ubuntu 18.04. Please install Mono, either :
sudo apt install mono-runtime libmono-system-windows-forms4.0-cil libmono-system-core4.0-cil libmono-winforms2.0-cil libmono-corlib2.0-cil libmono-system-management4.0-cil libmono-system-xml-linq4.0-cil
or full Mono :
sudo apt install mono-complete

You can debug Mission Planner on Mono with MONO_LOG_LEVEL=debug mono MissionPlanner.exe
