Picard Linux Install

Setup and install guide for Picard under Linux.

Ubuntu

Packages

1. Add the line deb http://zim.musicbrainz.org/~luks/ubuntu / to /etc/apt/sources.list
2. Do sudo apt-get update to update the repositories and the sudo apt-get install picard in console to install Picard

• 2.b You can also use Synaptic to install Picard after adding the line as in part 1 above.

Tested under 5.10 Breezy Badger. -- Shrike As of April 2, 2006, this does not work under Dapper.

Note: if you are getting a error like: "Attribute Error: 'module' object has no attribute 'eTooManyPUIDs'", try removing libtunepimp2c2 (older library from breezy). That fixed things for me.
