How do I install XBMC?

Where can I get XBMC for Ubuntu?

I have the team-xbmc ppa added however they have no packages, is there an older deb or is there somewhere where i can get the source and build myself?

For Ubuntu 12.04 and newer

Click on the button:

or by simply opening a terminal and typing sudo apt-get install xbmc.

After the release of Ubuntu 12.04 updates should be available in the stable XBMC PPA above and XBMC can be updated by adding the PPA and updating your system.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

The main XBMC PPA has been updated with the latest stable releases.

• What are PPAs and how do I use them?

If you want to compile xbmc in Ubuntu, the following worked for me:

Dependencies

Downloading And Compiling xbmc

cd
git clone git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git xbmc
cd xbmc
./bootstrap
./configure
make
sudo make install

Ubuntu 12.04(final)

although you can install xbmc in 12.04 via software-center or sudo apt-get install xbmc, for those that want to compile xbmc in 12.04, for whatever reason(Like to see code pass by in the gnome-terminal for that geeky feel) Here is the code which enables said feeling.

sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc
cd
git clone git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git xbmc
cd xbmc
./bootstrap
./configure
make
sudo make install

Note: Reboot after compiling for the XBMC icon to appear!
