How to install libimobiledevice?

Just as the title states how do I install that library to manage my iPhone?

Solution 1:

First try this:

1. Type in terminal sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pmcenery/ppa
2. Then run sudo apt-get update.
3. Then run sudo apt-get install libimobiledevice.

If it says Package not found:

1. Type in terminal sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pmcenery.list

2. It will open Gedit, a text editor. Replace these two lines...

   deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pmcenery/ppa/ubuntu oneiric main
   deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/pmcenery/ppa/ubuntu oneiric main
   

   ...with these two lines:

   deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pmcenery/ppa/ubuntu maverick main
   deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/pmcenery/ppa/ubuntu maverick main
   

3. Save the file.

4. Then again in terminal, run sudo apt-get update.
5. Then run sudo apt-get install libimobiledevice.
