Compile from source

To compile, the following for Debian and Ubuntu should be all that is required.

#apt-get install devscripts libgtk2.0-dev dpatch autotools-dev
#cd <package-ver>
#./configure
#make
#make install


Alternatively, the files are included for building a .deb package or an rpm file. Once you are sure the ./configure and make commands run without errors, to make a .deb package: cd <package-ver>
debuild -us -ucUse debuild -us -uc since you are not the maintainer of the package and you will not be able to sign the package. 

You will find the debian packages that you have just compiled one folder above, among some other files (the initial sources, compilation logs, etc.).
You can either put them in a local repository and install them using apt-get as usual, or you can just install them using dpkg:

cd ..
dpkg -i <package_file.deTo remove a package:

apt-get remove --purge
<package_file.deb>For an rpm package, the .spec file is provided. I don't have a RedHat system to work on right now, so you are own your own for now :-)

How do I use software from the Ubuntu Personal Package Archives (PPA)?

To start installing and using software from the Ubuntu Personal Package Archive, you first need to tell Ubuntu where to find the PPA and how to verify the authenticity of its software.
Adding the PPA to Ubuntu

Step 1: Copy the this to the clipboard:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mr-mizzen/site-ripper/ubuntu karmic main
Step 2: On your Ubuntu computer, open System > Administration > Software Sources.

Step 3: Click the Third Party Software tab.

Step 4: Click the Add button.

Step 5: Paste the line you copied in step 1 and click the Add Source button.

Step 6: Now copy the second line from the apt sources.list entries section of the PPA overview page and paste it in just as you did in steps 4 and 5.
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mr-mizzen/site-ripper/ubuntu karmic main
When prompted, reload the software sources information. Don't worry if you see a warning about unverified software sources; we're going to fix that next.

Telling Ubuntu how to authenticate the PPA

Now Ubuntu knows about the PPA. It also needs to know how to check the software hasn't been tampered with since Launchpad built it.

Step 1: Open your terminal and enter:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 63883740
Step 2: Finally, tell Ubuntu to re-load the details of each software archive it knows about:
sudo apt-get update
You're now ready to install software from the PPA and get automatic updates as well!
