23 == How To Install Psensor On Ubuntu
27 For Ubuntu Karmic(9.10), Lucid(10.04), Maverick(10.10) and Natty(11.04) the recommended way is to use the stable PPA:
30 sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jfi/ppa
32 sudo apt-get install psensor
35 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:
38 sudo apt-get install psensor
41 === Development Version
43 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:
46 sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jfi/psensor-unstable
48 sudo apt-get install psensor
53 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:
56 sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jfi/psensor-daily-trunk
58 sudo apt-get install psensor
61 === Installation From Source Archive

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