How to Install Plasma Media Center in Fedora 17/18 and Ubuntu 12.10
At this moment it’s little difficult to install Plasma Media Center on systems, because currently there are no official .rpm or .deb packages are available and hence, we need to install and build it using source code.
At present Plasma Media Center can be installed on Fedora 17/18 (and higher versions) and Ubuntu 12.10 (and higher versions). Please follow the below steps to install it.
For Fedora 17/18
# yum install git cmake # yum install kde-workspace-devel kdelibs-devel # yum install qt-mobility-devel # yum install taglib-devel # yum install kffmpegthumbnailer # yum install nepomuk-core-devel
For Ubuntu 12.10
$ sudo apt-get git cmake $ sudo apt-get install kde-workspace-dev kdelibs5-dev build-essential $ sudo apt-get install libdeclarative-multimedia $ sudo apt-get install libtag1-dev $ sudo apt-get install kffmpegthumbnailer $ sudo apt-get install nepomuk-core-dev
Build Instructions
Once you’ve finish installing dependencies modules, let’s start build instructions (common steps for both Fedora and Ubuntu), use them carefully as mentioned below.
$ git clone git://anongit.kde.org/plasma-mediacenter $ cd plasma-mediacenter $ mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` $ make -j(n+1) // n = number of cores $ sudo make install
Now here you will little confuse about what does “make -j(n+1)” means in the above command. Let me explain it for you. Let’s say, if you have Intel Core i3 processor, means you have two processors and your command would be like this “-j3“. So, just replace the command with number of cores you have.
