To install the 32-bit version:

wget
unzip ngrok_2.0.19_linux_386.zip

After that

./ngrok

and you will see this, tested on my 32-bit system.

NAME: ngrok - tunnel local ports to public URLs and inspect traffic
DESCRIPTION: ngrok exposes local networked services behinds NATs and firewalls to the public internet over a secure tunnel. Share local websites, build/test webhook consumers and self-host personal services. Detailed help for each command is available with 'ngrok help <command>'. Open for ngrok's web interface to inspect traffic.
EXAMPLES: ngrok http 80 # secure public URL for port 80 web server ngrok http -subdomain=baz 8080 # port 8080 available at baz.ngrok.io ngrok http foo.dev:80 # tunnel to host:port instead of localhost ngrok tcp 22 # tunnel arbitrary TCP traffic to port 22 ngrok tls -hostname=foo.com 443 # TLS traffic for foo.com to port 443 ngrok start foo bar baz # start tunnels from the configuration file
VERSION: 2.0.19
AUTHOR: inconshreveable - <>
COMMANDS: authtoken save authtoken to configuration file credits prints author and licensing information http start an HTTP tunnel start start tunnels by name from the configuration file tcp start a TCP tunnel test test ngrok service end-to-end tls start a TLS tunnel update update to the latest version version print the version string help Shows a list of commands or help for one command

It works on upper versions but I'm not sure about 12.04:

apt-get install ngrok-client

I had a similar issue -- running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (64 bit). I followed the instructions @ NGROK, but couldn't get the commandngrok http 8080 to respond how I had read it was supposed to. After reading around and watching this YouTube video I found what I needed. NOTE: The video has no spoken audio, but it does clearly indicate where to install the unzipped executable file and this was the key.

After downloading I ran the following in the terminal from the same directory where the zipped file was located (In my case it was in my home directory):

unzip ngrok-stable-linux-amd64.zip

Then I located the executable "ngrok" and ran the following:

sudo mv ngrok /usr/local/bin/

After completing these steps I was able to run the ngrok http 8080 and get the expected results (below is the example from the ngrok docs that I am talking about)
