Install the Latest Version of digiKam on Ubuntu 10.04

By Dmitri Popov

“Can’t wait till the latest version of digiKam appears
in the official Ubuntu software repositories? You don’t have to:
using the personal package archives (PPA) provided by the Launchpad
service, you can install the latest release of digiKam with a few
simple commands. Before you proceed, though, remove any previous
version of digiKam installed on your machine. Also, to be on the
safe side, delete all the related configuration files. You can do
that using the Ubuntu Tweak tool.

“Now you are ready to install the most recent version of
digiKam. First, add the PPA containing the latest digiKam packages
and the required libraries:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:philip5/kde44″
