{{FAQ|1=XBMC wont upgrade
| BGcolor=whitesmoke
| Question=Why wont XBMC upgrade?
| Answer=
After following the above instructions, XBMC is still not upgraded, the main reason why this happens is because the distribution you are using, is no longer supported and has reached an '''''end of life status'''''.
See [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases Current Ubuntu releases] if your current distro is listed under End of life table, you will need to upgrade your OS to a supported release.
LTS releases are better for long term install and forget, installing obviously the very latest LTS release available.

{{FAQ|1=Specific package versions.
| BGcolor=
| 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.
{{Note| Removing/purging any previous versions if they are greater version of the package you are looking to install is necessary.}}
}}
{{FAQ|1=beta_unstable
| BGcolor=whitesmoke
| Question=How can I install a beta/unstable version?
| Answer=
To install a beta/unstable version of XBMC you must first add the unstable repository, then install XBMC:
<source lang="bash">
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc-bin
</source>
:;or:
<source lang="bash">
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/nightly
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc-bin
</source>
Follow the prompts to add the repository, then to add the updates, and finally install the new version of XBMC.
{{note|1=You may need to restart your computer for the newly installed version to be working.}}
}}
{{FAQ|1=beta_unstable_to_stable
| BGcolor=
| Question=How can I move from a beta/unstable to a stable version?
| Answer=
Check what XBMC versions you have access to by typing:
<source lang="bash">
sudo apt-cache policy xbmc
</source>
The response in terminal should be something like:
<source lang="xml">
xbmc:
  Installed: 2:13.2~git20140719.0900-beta2-0trusty
  Candidate: 2:13.2~git20140719.0900-beta2-0trusty
  Version table:
*** 2:13.2~git20140719.0900-beta2-0trusty 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/unstable/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
    2:13.1~git20140606.0917-gotham-0trusty 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
    2:12.3+dfsg1-3ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages
</source>
{{note|1=In the above example we have an unstable ('''team-xbmc/unstable''') and the release versions ('''team-xbmc/ppa''') available.  The version with the '''***''' is the currently installed version (unstable)}}
To install the release version we need to install the team-xbmc/ppa version (in the above example: "2:13.1~git20140606.0917-gotham-0trusty").  This requires the install of both the [[Team_XBMC_PPA#Installing_XBMC |"'''xbmc'''" and the "'''xbmc-bin'''" package.]]
<source lang="bash">
sudo apt-get install xbmc=2:13.1~git20140606.0917-gotham-0trusty xbmc-bin=2:13.1~git20140606.0917-gotham-0trusty
</source>
{{note|1=You will get a warning you are downgrading, hit Y when asked to continue}}
Remove the beta/unstable repository from XBMC to clean up:
<source lang="bash">
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:team-xbmc/unstable
</source>

▶ Installing		 ▶ Official Ubuntu PPA

Personal Package Archives, or PPAs are software repositories that hold compiled version of software, primarily for Ubuntu and various Ubuntu derivatives (such as Lubuntu, non-Debian versions of Linux Mint, XBMCbuntu, and many others).

The Team XBMC PPA provides the only officially supported pre-compiled binaries for Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based systems.

NOTICE All users should use the Team XBMC PPA instead of the system repositories (or any build that uses external ffmpeg/libav) for proper support and best running operation.


Repositories

The XBMC repositories are as follows:

https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/ppa ppa:team-xbmc/ppa Final release builds
https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/unstable ppa:team-xbmc/unstable Betas and release candidates
https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/xbmc-nightly ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly Nightly builds

For the users looking for compile with the PPA build depends in addition to the nightly PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/xbmc-ppa-build-depends ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-ppa-build-depends Build Depends

Uninstalling or Removing

|- | |

How do I uninstall XBMC?
Link

If you need to remove and purge an application and finally removing/purging also the application configurations files, do so by typing: 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove xbmc*
sudo apt-get purge xbmc*

Build Dependencies

|- | style="background:whitesmoke" |

What are PPA build dependencies?
Link

These build dependencies are versions of a library pre-packaged by Team XBMC, because the distro provided versions are behind the current requirements of XBMC. Both REAME.linux and/or README.ubuntu documents using XBMC ppa build dependencies refer to these dependencies in the Team XBMC PPA's used in conjunction, when compiling on Ubuntu or derivatives distros.
