How To Install SopCast On Ubuntu 13.04

Here is a guide to insal the SopCast player on Ubuntu 13.04. In my previous post about installing SopCast on Ubuntu 12.10 there is a PPA you can use to install SopCast. But at this moment there is no PPA available to install SopCast on Ubuntu 13.04 so you need to download and install the packages yourself.


Optional:
Install the Medibuntu repository and the Ubuntu restricted extras. if you already installed them you can skip this step. To install the Medibuntu repository and the restricted extras open a terminal wind (press Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy+paste the following lines:

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get --yes -q --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

To isntall the sp-auth package and SopCast:
First download and install the sp-auth package for your system (32bit or 64bit).

Download sp-auth for 32 bit systems

Download sp-auth for 64 bit systems

When the sp-auth package is downloaded you can install the package (and fix the dependencies) using the terminal window. To install the package open a terminal window (press Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy+paste the following lines:

cd ~/Downloads/

sudo dpkg -i sp-auth_3.2.6~ppa1~precise3_*.deb

sudo apt-get -f install

After installing the sp-auth package you need to download the SopCast player.

Download SopCast-player for 32 bit systems

Download SopCast-player for 64 bit systems

When downloaded you can install the player and fix it’s dependencies using the following command lines:

sudo dpkg -i sopcast-player_0.8.5~ppa~precise1_*.deb

sudo apt-get -f install

When installed close the terminal window and to start SopCast click on the Dash Home button and search for: sopcast
