There is a snap available:

This is the version information:

❯ swtpm-mvo.swtpm --version
TPM emulator version 0.4.0, Copyright (c) 2014 IBM Corp.

However, if I try to run the first example from [*], I get:

❯ swtpm-mvo.swtpm socket --tpmstate dir=/tmp/mytpm1 \
  --ctrl type=unixio,path=/tmp/mytpm1/swtpm-sock \
  --log level=20
swtpm: Could not open UnixIO socket: No such file or directory
