Installing Picard on Linux
Setup and install guide for Picard under Linux. If you don't want to install third party binary packages, have a look at PicardSourceInstall.
Ubuntu
- Add the line
deb http://users.musicbrainz.org/~luks/ubuntu breezy main
(ordeb http://users.musicbrainz.org/~luks/ubuntu dapper main
for Dapper) to your/etc/apt/sources.list
. - Do
sudo apt-get update
to update lists of packages andsudo apt-get install picard
in console to install Picard.
You can also use Synaptic to add the repository (Settings → Repositories → New) and install Picard.
This appears to fail on dependencies, as of 2006-05-30. (picard: Depends: python-tunepimp (>= 0.5.0) but 0.3.0-9.1ubuntu3 is to be installed)
- libtunepimp 0.5.0 depends on packages from universe and multiverse, so you have to enable these repositories first. for example by adding line
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe multiverse
to/etc/apt/sources.list
. --LukasLalinsky
Debian
Ready made packages without warranty:
- Add the line
deb http://users.musicbrainz.org/~luks/ubuntu sid main
to/etc/apt/sources.list
- Do
sudo apt-get update
to update the repositories and thesudo apt-get install picard
in console to install Picard
