In order to install Xtreme Download manager, I've used the following commands based on what is said here.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/apps
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xdman

But here's what I get from the terminal and I can't get it installed:

sepideh@sepideh-Lenovo-ideapad-700-15ISK:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/apps
[sudo] password for sepideh:

Noobslab PPA no longer appears to maintain an XDMan release for current Ubuntu releases. The last update was for Xenial Xerus. As far as I know, XDMan does not have any reliable PPA at the moment. Instead ...

Install using Tarball

  1. OpenJDK should have been installed already. Check via Terminal: java --version. If you get Command 'java' not found install it with:

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jre

    and hit Enter if asked.

  2. Download the lastest XDMan release here (currently 7.2.11 at the time of this edit).

    Note that recent releases are 64-bit only. If you need a 32-bit release, the latest is 7.2.7.

  3. After finishing the download open Terminal and cd to the download directory; for example: cd ~/Downloads/Programs

  4. Run tar -xvf xdm-setup-7.2.11.tar.xz (for latest release) or tar -xvf xdm-2018-x86.tar.xz (for the 32-bit release).

    NOTE: You may not want to extract the file using FileRoller or other software, as it may not extract it appropriately.

  5. Run sudo ./install.sh

Xtreme Download Manager is now installed on your system.

Find the latest version (currently 7.2.11) on the XDM Downloads Page or the Github releases page. Adjust the filenames as needed below to download, extract, and run install.sh:

wget https://github.com/subhra74/xdm/releases/download/7.2.11/xdm-setup-7.2.11.tar.xz
tar -xvf xdm-setup-7.2.11.tar.xz
sudo sh install.sh
