[Fluxus] installing fluxus from source in ubuntu 7.10 gutsy?

[Artem Baguinski]

hi Jaime

Installing distribution packages has its advantages, such as easy
upgrades and uninstallation.

I'll have ubuntu 7.10 packages for rc1 soon, may be next week. at the
moment I have 0.14 beta 1 which has only minor differences from the
rc1 as far as I'm aware (Dave?)

just adding

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/femistofel/ubuntu gutsy main

to the /etc/apt/sources.list and running

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install fluxus

should work, or you can do the same via gui: System > Administration >
Software Sources > Third Party Software > Add... > copy the deb...main
line in
