How do I install Avidemux On Ubuntu (LXDE)?

I have synaptic but I cannot find Avidemux in it. Should I add a repository to synaptic?

Very easy, run this in your terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rebuntu16/avidemux+unofficial
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install avidemux2.6-gtk avidemux2.6-qt4

Edit: The GTK+ packages are not supported any more since the interface does not work. Users should install the Qt4/Qt5 one instead.

avidemux disappeared from repositories after wily; I've resolved adding trusty (because is LTS) repos to my sources.list.

Obviously this installs 2.5.4 version, but the official one; if you prefer a newer one, the ppa method is better.

open a terminal and give:

sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak

(or choose the filename you prefer) to backup your sources.list

then

sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

or nano or gedit or ... the editor you like and add this line on the bottom:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted universe multiverse

finally update and install avidemux with

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install avidemux
