MakeMkv linux

Post by lameth007 »

Can someone show me directions on how to install makemkv on linux. the posts Im finding are from years ago, involve makefiles. this is all things I am not familiar with. I tried to install the snap and had a permissions issue when trying to save any output. I dont fully grok the makefile directions. any chance its in aptitude?

The only official way to install on Linux is via the makefiles.

You only have to install the dependencies once, the first time you install MakeMKV. You don't need to install them again when upgrading to a new version of MakeMKV.

It's not that difficult to run ./configure, make and sudo make install...

If you are having problems with that then I don't think you will last very long on Linux as it very common for small projects to be installed like this. It would be worth your time to learn how.

If you aren't willing to learn then I would suggest switching back to Windows.
