Installation
This page covers only information about getting the desired software packages properly installed. The instructions here was written in the sense to be helpful, and I am not responsible for any damages caused by following them (use at your own risk).
- How to use all of these commands?
There are actually two options:
- Either you can copy-paste them line-by-line into a Terminal window (press Ctrl+Alt+T to open one), or
- you can create a shell script, that can be used everytime you will need to install/remove the desired application. To make one, just open your favourite text editor (e.g. gedit), copy-paste all the necessary commands into window, then save the file (the filename could be something like libdvdcss-install.sh). Now, anytime you will have to perform the required task, just execute the script with a syntax of "
sh PATH_TO_FILE" within Terminal.
