How do I install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package?
First, be warned that it might not be legal in some countries, because of software patents.
With that being said, here is how to install it, click here:
ubuntu-restricted-extras
Or you can open up a terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
Select yes, and you'll have ubuntu-restricted-extras
installed and working.
I suggest to install Ubuntu Restricted Extras through Ubuntu Software Center. It will install all media codecs plus java and flash plugins.
Well I think you need to enable multiverse on Software and Updates (if you use Ubuntu 12.04, you can access software properties or something like that from Ubuntu Software Center > Edit menu)
Then close the Software Center and open Software Updater (Update Manager on 12.04) to update the package lists. Alternatively you can run sudo apt-get update
from Terminal.
After update got completed, open Software Center again and look for Ubuntu restricted extras to install.
If you still can’t find the package, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
from a Terminal and see if it results in an error.
Just click this link to apt repository.
Or go to software centre and install Ubuntu-restricted-extras
Or use apt-get, type in terminal
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
