adding a few repos.

[Heeter]

Hi all,

wondering how to add a few repositories to my mint setup. I am using Elyssa.

Thanks

I've always found the best way is to manually edit the sources.list.

In a terminal run;

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Add your new repos to the bottom of the file. Use the other entries as examples. It's fairly straight forward. When finished, save your work then run;

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

in a terminal. If you made any mistakes apt will probably generate an error and you'll need to go back and have a look at your new entries to see where the problem is. If all goes well then you have successfully added your new repos.

Great, Thanks

What other repos would be recommended to add to here?

I would like to add as many as needed to install mencoder, devede, skype, and google earth.


Thanks

All those packages are available in the default repos. Just search for them in the package manager.

Enjoy
