Linux – How to install VLC on Puppy Linux

puppylinuxvlc-media-player

Question

I'm new to Linux, have just installed Puppy Linux and would like to install VLC. How do I install VLC? Can anyone provide a step by step guide?

Versions

Findings so far

I checked the paket managers but didn't find VLC in it.

I searched the web but didn't find any articles describing how to install the current VLC version. I found some articles describing how to install VLC 0.8.x but didn't find that helpful.

Best Answer

I have Lupu 5.01 working with VLC.

My steps to get it working were:

  1. Go HERE and download the VLC package. Click on it and it should install fine.
  2. Run and test.

Problem solving: if the application won't work from the menu after installing, go HERE and install that package as well.

Hope that works for you - it worked for me with a C-Media sound card and just X11 video.
