how to install last.fm scrobbler on ubuntu 14.04?

http://www.last.fm/download?showplatform=Linux

it has the guide for 12.10 but not newer ones plz someone help

It does not matter which repository do you use. Each repository installs the same version.

Eg the debian repository

sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://apt.last.fm/debian stable main"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lastfm-scrobbler

But there seems to be a error in the desktop file /usr/share/applications/lastfm-client.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Last.fm Client
Comment=Listen to Last.fm radio
Exec=/usr/bin/lastfm-client
Icon=lastfm-client
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Qt;Audio;AudioVideo;
StartupNotify=true

The binary Exec=/usr/bin/lastfm-client doesn't exist. Therefore open the file in an editor

sudo nano /usr/share/applications/lastfm-client.desktop

and change the line Exec= from

Exec=/usr/bin/lastfm-client

Exec=/usr/bin/lastfm-scrobbler

Alternatively you could copy the file into your local applications folder

cp /usr/share/applications/lastfm-client.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/lastfm-client.desktop
sudo chown $USER:USER ~/.local/share/applications/lastfm-client.desktop

and make the changes in this file via

nano ~/.local/share/applications/lastfm-client.desktop
