The link you shared is back from 2010 and that information isn't useful today. I recommend you undo the changes you made. After you have done that, the below steps will let you install it.

Granola has very bad support for Linux Mint, so you'll have to get your hands dirty a bit to get this work. The below instructions are for Granola personal edition, assuming you want that and not the enterprise edition. The below steps are specific to Linux Mint 14 and 15 (and as Granola doesn't actually support Linux Mint 15, we'll fake being Linux Mint 14).

Steps:
1) Add the repository (miserware) that has Granola with the following command. Provide your password when asked and note that typing a password on the terminal doesn't give you any visual feedback.

Code: Select all

echo deb https://download.miserware.com/linux/deb quantal main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/miserware.list

2) Add the repository authentication key with this command.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 36FCD7AE11A8389C

3) Refresh your repositories.

Code: Select all

apt update

4) Install the Granola graphical front-end:

Code: Select all

apt install granola-gui

You should now be able to open Granola from your menu (it is in the Accessories category). Note that Granola doesn't work on virtual machines (on which I worked out the installation steps).
