====== Installing Avidemux on Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu ======

The most recent stable version of Avidemux should be available in main Ubuntu apt-repositories. You may need to enable the **universe** and **multiverse** in your sources list before you can use search to find it. There are two methods of enabling those repositories for your system:

  * For normal users, you can use the more user friendly program called **Synaptic** (for GNOME) or **KPackageKit** (for KDE) to edit your sources list, enable those repositories, and then save the changes.
  * For advanced users, using either **sudo** or becoming root, you can manually edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list. You can uncomment the lines which refer to enabling the **universe** and **multiverse**.

After you have updated your sources list, you will need to grab the new package lists. 

  * For normal users, you can use **Synaptic** (for GNOME) or **KPackageKit** (for KDE) to update your lists.
  * For advanced users, you can run //sudo apt-get update//.

Now you can search for the package called **avidemux**.

  * For normal users, you can use **Synaptic** (for GNOME) or **KPackageKit** (for KDE) to search.

Once you have found right package, you can now install it.

  * For normal users, you can use **Synaptic** (for GNOME) or **KPackageKit** (for KDE) to mark the package for installation and then proceed with the install.
  * For advanced users, you can run //sudo apt-get install avidemux//.

After apt-get or **Synaptic** (for GNOME) or **KPackageKit** (for KDE) finishes, Avidemux should be installed on your system.
