I am on Ubuntu 18.04 like StratTuner and was unable to find any PPA containing ccextractor for this particular release. (It is coming in the official Ubuntu Universe and is available via PPA's for several older versions:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ccextractor )
I was able to build it from the official git source repository without too much trouble:
https://github.com/CCExtractor/ccextractor
If you have never used git before, you will need to install it on your system:
sudo apt-get install git
Most of the other dependencies are listed on the official github site for CCExtractor noted above. Here are the actual commands that I ran on my system to install the dependencies:
sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev
sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr
sudo apt-get install libtesseract-dev
sudo apt-get install libleptonica-dev
Note that tesseract-ocr is not mentioned on the github site; but, it satisfies the tesseract-ocr-dev dependency that is listed. I could not install tesseract-ocr-dev on 18.04 via standard apt-get.
Copy everything else you need from github to your machine with the following command:
git clone
https://github.com/CCExtractor/ccextractor
Build your copy of ccextractor by running the following commands:
cd ~/ccextractor/linux
./build
Set the path to your newly created ~/ccextractor/linux/ccextractor file using the MakeMKV file system browser as described elsewhere.
Good luck!
Well... Quite some time has gone by, and I haven't got CCExtractor installed ... (sigh)...
I'd given up for the longest time... hoping that someone would post instructions on how to install this program....somewhere..
.
I'm back to reading posts that I just can't make any sense out of...
I'm hoping to find instructions that are step wise , as in
1. do this
2. do that
3. do something else
I keep running into instructions that say things like "do this in the LINUX folder".
OK...so I search "where is the LINUX folder", and I get a location.
I attempt to find this folder on my system, and it doesn't exist.....
but I return to your post, and I'll do my own instructions from what I can understand of yours, in real time... as I type this post....
1. install git -- "sudo apt-get install git" -- (that worked...on to next step)
2. paste the following into terminal box, or the Command Line INterface
sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev
sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr
sudo apt-get install libtesseract-dev
sudo apt-get install libleptonica-dev
(OK, did that too. Don't know if any of that worked, but I did each line separately)
3. copy something from somewhere with the following command
git clone
https://github.com/CCExtractor/ccextractor
(that seemed to work, but I wouldn't know success from failure if I were looking at it, and I am right now.)
4. Build your copy of ccextractor by running the following commands:
cd ~/ccextractor/linux
./build
(that yielded the following which doesn't look good to me...)
"bash: cd: /home/don/ccextractor/linux: No such file or directory"
I'm probably dead in the water here, but I'll keep going with the instructions in case it worked and I just don't know it.
5. Set the path to your newly created ~/ccextractor/linux/ccextractor file using the MakeMKV file system browser as described elsewhere.
I actually do know how to do that in the MakeMKV program, but setting it to
"~/ccextractor/linux/ccextractor"
still yields the message....
"Failed to execute external program 'ccextractor' from location '~/ccextractor/linux/ccextractor'"
This software can be installed and linked into MakeMKV....other people have done it....
I'm just not sure how.
Please help.
