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.
