How do I install Handbrake?

I've added the ppa here

https://edge.launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-releases

When I run sudo apt-get update, the software sources aren't found. I figured maybe they hadn't updated their repos to the newest version, so I changed the distro in Software Center to natty.

Now when I try to install handbrake-gtk I get the message

handbrake-gtk : Depends: libnotify1 (>= 0.5.0) but it is not installable

Depends: libnotify1-gtk2.10 but it is not installable

It looks like the only packages starting with libnotify are

libnotify0.4-cil
libnotify-bin
libnotify-dev
libnotify4
libnotify-cil-dev
libnotify-doc

The only relevant one seemed like libnotify4, which is already installed. The CLI version installs fine.

How can I install Handbrake?

Here is how to install the official releases, not the snapshots

sudo add-apt-repository  ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install handbrake-cli

You can then run it with:

HandBrakeCLI --help

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=names&keywords=libnotify
Get it from here. You need libnotify1 v0.5 or newer.

Installation (original instructions available here)

First thing that you have to do is to add the official PPA - there are instructions on how to add a PPA here on Ask Ubuntu. The PPA you want to add is:

Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-snapshots
sudo apt-get update

And finally the installation:

sudo apt-get install handbrake-gtk handbrake-cli

There is an alternative: install latest development release of HandBrake from HandBrake Snapshots PPA, that contains also oneiric packages, with all right dependecies: ppa:stebbins/handbrake-snapshots

Ubuntu 14.04 and later

Handbrake is in the default repositories of Ubuntu 14.04 and later. To install it open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install handbrake  

To install the CLI version of Handbrake open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install handbrake-cli

Handbrake can be installed as a snap package in Ubuntu 14.04 and later. To find the handbrake snap package open the terminal and type:

snap find handbrake # the next 2 lines are the results of the command
Name          Version  Developer  Notes  Summary
handbrake-jz  1.0.2-0  jz         -      The open source video transcoder  

The results of snap find handbrake will usually show that the version of handbrake-jz is the latest stable version of Handbrake. To install this handbrake snap package run these commands:

sudo apt install snapd
sudo snap install handbrake-jz

handbrake and handbrake-jz can also be installed from the Ubuntu Software app in Ubuntu 16.04 and later.
