Sources: https://github.com/linuxmint/hypnotix

There are two ways to install Hypnotix - compilation and binary deb-package installation as follows:

• Compilation from sources on 20.04 LTS and 21.10 is done by:

  sudo apt-get install git debhelper
  cd ~/Downloads
  git clone https://github.com/linuxmint/hypnotix -b 2.6
  cd hypnotix
  dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
  sudo apt-get install ../hypnotix_2.6_all.deb
  

• Binary package installation from “Wasta-Linux” team Cinnamon-Testing PPA.

  On Ubuntu 20.04 LTS the above PPA should be added in simple way:

  sudo apt-add-repository ppa:wasta-linux/cinnamon-testing
  

  Note: for Ubuntu 21.10 additional step is needed - sudo sed -i "s/impish/focal/g" /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wasta-linux-ubuntu-cinnamon-testing-impish.list

  Then update package lists, allow installation of only one Hyphotix package and install it by:

  sudo apt-get update
  
  cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/pin-hypnotix
  Package: *
  Pin: release o=LP-PPA-wasta-linux-cinnamon-testing
  Pin-Priority: -1
  
  Package: hypnotix
  Pin: release o=LP-PPA-wasta-linux-cinnamon-testing
  Pin-Priority: 1000
  EOF
  
  sudo apt-get install hypnotix
  

  To revert the changes use the following commands:

  sudo apt-get install aptitude ppa-purge
  sudo rm /etc/apt/preferences.d/pin-hypnotix
  sudo ppa-purge ppa:wasta-linux/cinnamon-testing
  sudo apt-get autoremove
  

Possible alternative with easier installation is Astroncia IPTV, it is installable from its PPA for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and newer versions:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:astroncia/iptv
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install astroncia-iptv
