22 == How To Install Psensor On Ubuntu
26 For Ubuntu Karmic(9.10), Lucid(10.04), Maverick(10.10) and Natty(11.04) the recommended way is to use the stable PPA:
29 sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jfi/ppa
31 sudo apt-get install psensor
34 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:
37 sudo apt-get install psensor
40 === Development Version
42 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:
45 sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jfi/psensor-unstable
47 sudo apt-get install psensor
52 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:
55 sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jfi/psensor-daily-trunk
57 sudo apt-get install psensor
60 === Installation From Source Archive

64 First, all build prerequisites must be installed:
67 sudo apt-get install autoconf automake gettext autopoint
