installing to ubuntu

Post by David Miller » Mon Jan 14, 2008 4:37 pm

I have just installed ubuntu 7.10 and cannot seem to find a source file to Audacity that works.

Please note that I have no previous knowledge of any linux based stuff at all

Any help much appreciated

Open up Symantic and search for Audacity (select "Name" as the type of search). You will then see Audacity listed - click on it and select it for installation, then click on "Apply". It may be a slightly out of date version that is installed, but this is an easy way to install it (It is in the "universe" repository).
