Linux Mint Forums

I would like to try aTunes, but it doesn't appear in software or package manager so how would I go about downloading that?
I did a search for it, but nothing helpful came up.

You will have to use the terminal and follow any installation instructions
--you can make a comparison to the other Linux versions mentioned, even if they don't exactly match, the aTunes start command and the general method will be valid (whether it is an .rpm or a .deb) file

• If you decide to try the .deb file from that aTunes download page..
  
  You can in a terminal (provided the supporting applications are already installed)
  --you will already have jre (java runtime envirnoment)
  
  In terminal, check
  • java -version
    --check if java is installed and its version
    sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb
    --the downloaded package (name) from aTunes

  • Linux Mint 7(gloria) and 8(Helena) main edition is a Gnome based desktop, based from Ubuntu 9.04(jaunty) or 9.10 (Karmic Koala)
  You might want to get the latest stable version, as released..

  --you could try the .deb package, making sure that you have already installed the dependencies it(aTunes) requires
  • System Requirements
    Java 6 Runtime Edition (http://www.java.com/download/)
    For Linux and Mac users: mplayer or xine, cdda2wav. For ripping, lame, flac or oggenc must be installed.

--the only items/applications you might not have already installed in Linux mint 7 or 8 is For rippingflac or oggenc must be installed.

OK, having not fully understood everything that you said I clicked on the .deb package. And when it downloaded Mint said something like all dependencies are satisfied.
So everything seems to have installed.

Thank you
