How to get latest version of btsync up to date in ubuntu

How to get latest version of btsync up to date in ubuntu

In Ubuntu, if you may want to use the Launchpad PPA instead of the default repositories. This is great and give your latest version without waiting default repositories updates.

But the PPA only supports some Ubuntu versions for now

  • lucid (10.04)
  • precise (12.04)
  • quantal (12.10)
  • saucy (13.10)
  • trusty (14.04)

And the PPA only supports the i386 and amd64 architectures. It could takes some hours for the packages to be published.

You can add the Launchpad PPA by put following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tuxpoldo/btsync
sudo apt-get update

then make install / update by

sudo apt-get install btsync
