use the ppa

Yeah I tried that too but wasn't sure exactly how to do it, sorry I forgot. But you have to remember you're talking to a complete n00b here when it comes to ubuntu. Can you or anyone else post a step by step please, or a link that fully explains how to do it?

in the terminal run this command, to add the bitcoin repo:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin

and then update:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

and then, to install bitcoin:

Code:

sudo apt-get install bitcoin

Doesn't work, because it needs these files and the pages are down :

http://ppa.launchpad.net/stretch/bitcoin/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/source/Sources
http://ppa.launchpad.net/stretch/bitcoin/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-i386/Packages

This was actually one of the main reasons I didn't switch to linux ages ago. The lack of .exe files for things.

edit : Thanks Coincrazy, but the instructions in that video are the same and it can't find the files due to pages that are down.
