As you know that, there are 2 ways to install a package: compile from the source or install from Ubuntu repositories. So GetDeb people just compile every new sources into ready install .deb files, so everyone can just download them and install. Therefore, it take just little time for everyone.
There are 2 ways you can download packages from GetDeb website:
- Go directly to GetDeb and download the latest .deb files and install manually but you will not know whenever there is a update package without always checking this website.
- Install GetDeb repository. This post almost covers the second method.
Install repository
Use the following instructions:
- Install the getdeb package.
- Or configure the repository manually:Go to System-Administration-Software Sources, Third-Party Software tab, Add:
deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu karmic-getdeb apps - Add the repository GPG key, open a terminal window and type:
wget -q -O- http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb-archive.key | sudo apt-key add - - Click the “Install this now” button below the screenshot of the desired application.
