          libtiff has no installation candidate. Your choices are:



          sudo apt-get install libtiff4


          for Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10, 13.04, and 13.10 ... or



          sudo apt install libtiff5


          for Ubuntu 14.04, 15.04, 15.10, 16.04, 16.10 17.04, 17.10, 18.04, 18.10 and 19.04.



          You can also install libtiff4 and libtiff5 from the Ubuntu Software Center.

          If like me, you may be looking for the utils:



          sudo apt-get install libtiff-tools

            libtiff4 was upto 13.10 and 14.04 provides libtiff5.

            To install it nonetheless, go to the download page and select libtiff4_3.9.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb.
            Open terminal and, in the folder you downloaded the file, write:



            sudo dpkg -i libtiff4_3.9.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb


            libtiff5 and libtiff4 are co-installable, so it will not write over the files of libtiff5.

              sudo apt-get update
              sudo apt-get install libtiff4


              These commands will install libtiff on your 64 bit machine. You can use http://packages.ubuntu.com/ to search for the packages you need. In this case, it is http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libtiff4

                I had a similar issue. So what solved it for me was to do:



                sudo apt-get install libtiff-dev

                          libtiff4 was upto 13.10 and 14.04 provides libtiff5.

                          To install it nonetheless, go to the download page and select libtiff4_3.9.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb.
                          Open terminal and, in the folder you downloaded the file, write:



                          sudo dpkg -i libtiff4_3.9.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb


                          libtiff5 and libtiff4 are co-installable, so it will not write over the files of libtiff5.
