Install Nuvola Player 3.0 on Ubuntu

Choose Installation Method

There are three ways how to install Nuvola Player on your system. Choose the one which suits you best.

1. All-in-one Nuvola Player Bundle: A single package that bundles the core application as well as integration scripts of streaming services. Upon installation, all components are updated independently. This method is recommended to less experienced users.

2. User-friendly graphical installation: Users who are not friends with a terminal can take advantage of an easy-to-use graphical installer. This method is recommended to less experienced users if installation of the Nuvola Player Bundle fails.

3. Manual installation from terminal: Power users who are excellent in command-line kung-fu can just add the Nuvola Player Repository manually and install Nuvola Player using common package management tools of your linux distribution. Then skip to the section Check format support. This method is not recommended to less experienced users. Any mistake can break your system.

All-in-one Nuvola Player Bundle

1. Download All-in-one Nuvola Player Bundle. Note: Choose correct distribution and architecture (i386 for 32-bit processors and amd64 for 64-bit ones).
2. Open the bundle package with the Ubuntu Software application and install the package. If the installation is not successful, try the User-Friendly Graphical Installation procedure as it is more robust and can solve conflicts to a certain degree.
3. Check format support status.
