How do I install 4shared?

The 4shared package has a LOT of dependencies (additional packages required to run), including Java and other Java libraries. If you install the .deb with Software Center or gdebi, all the dependencies should be automatically installed.

  1. Open a terminal with Ctrl-Alt-T.
  2. Type the following, one line at time, and enter your password whenever prompted:

    sudo dpkg -i desktop4shared-1.3_1-all.deb
    sudo apt-get -f install
    
  3. Go to the Launcher and type "4Shared" to start it:
