I know this has been dealt with extensively but I have an issue I can not find an answer for. I am trying to install the netflix desktop app and in the terminal after entering the last step "sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop" I get an error that says "unable to locate package netflix-desktop"
I would really appreciate some help, thanks,
John
Netflix requires Microsoft Silverlight plugin with DRM (Digital Rights Management). Even thought there is a native Linux program similar to Silverlight is Moonlight, Moonlight does support DRM so it does not help.
You will have to add PPA (Personal Packages Archives) in order to install Netflix on Linux.
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio
To install Netflix Desktop on Ubuntu and Linux Mint
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop
