Here's how to install Novacut if you're running [[http://www.ubuntu.com/|Ubuntu 12.04 LTS]].

Note about the current state of Novacut:

 * for now we only test with video from Canon HDSLR, so Novacut might be ''unreliable'' if not ''usable'' if editing video from other cameras. If you need some test footage, here's a [[https://novacut.s3.amazonaws.com/Brainard_Lake.zip?torrent|2.1 GB torrent with 22 short clips]] that Jason shot on a 5D Mark II. They're licensed CC-BY.

 * Dmedia currently only supports importing from removable media, and you have to actually insert said media to make Dmedia notice. To work around this, copy some HDSLR video onto a removable HDD, a USB stick, CF/SD card, etc.

Okay.... it's ''wonderfully'' easy to install software through the [[http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/features/ubuntu-software-centre|Ubuntu Software Center]]. However, as Novacut isn't yet in any official Ubuntu software channel, the process is a touch more difficult. Just ask us if you need help or get stuck!

On the bright side, after you add the Novacut Stable Releases PPA, you'll automatically get each monthly Novacut release. There are two ways you can add our PPA:

== Copy & Paste ==

A little copy & paste is a quick and easy way to install Novacut:

Open the terminal (search for "terminal" in Dash), and then copy and paste these 3 commands, hitting Return after each one:

 {{{
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:novacut/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install novacut
}}}

To paste into the terminal, choose '''Paste''' from the '''Edit''' menu, or use '''Shift+Control+V''' on your keyboard. You also can click your middle mouse button, if you have one.

You can accomplish the same through the [[http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/features/ubuntu-software-centre|Ubuntu Software Center]]. In the '''Edit''' menu, choose '''Software Sources''':

Now click the '''Check''' button in the '''Update Manager''':
