Install digiKam 1.6 on Ubuntu 10.10

with 20 comments

Running Ubuntu 10.10? Want the latest version of digiKam with it? Philip Johnsson’s got you covered. His PPA contains the very latest version of the photo management application ready to be installed on your system. Before you proceed, uninstall any previous versions of digiKam. Fire up the terminal and execute the following commands:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:philip5/extra
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install digikam

That’s all there is to it.
