51 <div class="sectionbody">
53 <h3 id="_stable_version">Stable Version</h3>
54 <div class="paragraph">
55 <p>For Ubuntu Karmic(9.10), Lucid(10.04), Maverick(10.10) and Natty(11.04) the recommended way is to use the stable PPA:</p>
57 <div class="listingblock">
59 <pre>sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jfi/ppa
61 sudo apt-get install psensor</pre>
64 <div class="paragraph">
65 <p>Since Oneiric, Psensor is available in the official Ubuntu repository. The stable version of Psensor can be installed without adding any PPAs. The Ubuntu Software Center can be used, or the following command line:</p>
67 <div class="listingblock">
69 <pre>sudo apt-get install psensor</pre>
74 <h3 id="_development_version">Development Version</h3>
75 <div class="paragraph">
76 <p>The development version is providing the last features and should not have any major bugs. It can be installed by using a dedicated PPA with the following command lines:</p>
78 <div class="listingblock">
80 <pre>sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jfi/psensor-unstable
82 sudo apt-get install psensor</pre>
87 <h3 id="_daily_snapshot">Daily Snapshot</h3>
88 <div class="paragraph">
89 <p>Each day a package is automatically built directly from the source repository. The purpose of this daily build is to test Psensor and report bugs. It can be installed by using a dedicated PPA with the following command lines:</p>
91 <div class="listingblock">
93 <pre>sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jfi/psensor-daily-trunk
95 sudo apt-get install psensor</pre>
100 <h3 id="_installation_from_source_archive">Installation From Source Archive</h3>
101 <div class="paragraph">
102 <p>Of course, it is also possible to compile and install Psensor from the source archive. There is no real benefit except to tune compilation settings or hack the source code.</p>
104 <div class="paragraph">
105 <p>First, all build prerequisites must be installed:</p>
107 <div class="listingblock">
108 <div class="content">
109 <pre>sudo apt-get install autoconf automake gettext autopoint
110 libgtk2.0-dev libgconf2-dev libnotify-dev
111 libsensors4-dev help2man libcurl4-openssl-dev
112 libjson0-dev libmicrohttpd-dev
113 libgtop2-dev perl libunity-dev libgtop2-dev
114 libappindicator-dev nvidia-settings</pre>
117 <div class="paragraph">
118 <p>Downloads the source archive from: <a href="http://wpitchoune.net/psensor/files/" class="bare">http://wpitchoune.net/psensor/files/</a>.</p>
120 <div class="paragraph">
