| Question=How to install a specific versions? | |||
| Answer= | |||
In the event you need to install either by upgrade or downgrade a specific XBMC version (a reason may be a bug or to test a specific version), the PPA providing said version active must be in your '''sources.list.d''' along with a updated list of the packages. | |||
If the packages you intend to install are on a different PPA, you should probably remove that PPA to avoid confusion. | |||
<code>apt-get install packagename=version</code> is one way to achieve this. | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash" enclose="div"> | |||
sudo apt-get update | |||
sudo apt-get install xbmc=2:13.1~git20140606.0917-gotham-0trusty xbmc-bin=2:13.1~git20140606.0917-gotham-0trusty | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
Hint: For e.g. You can use result of <code>apt-cache policy xbmc</code> to see the candidates <packagename><version> available to you. | |||
