Ubuntu Raring Ringtail Installation
See Ubuntu Installation Guides for installing on other Ubuntu versions. |
These instructions allow you to compile the latest development version of MythTV on Ubuntu Raring Ringtail 13.04
Note: Do not install MythTV this way if you want a released version of MythTV. This document tells you how to install the unstable development version of the application which we do not recommend using in a Production (ie non development) environment.
