How do I install DupeGuru Music Edition?

Question

I need to install DupeGuru Music Edition but I do not know what files do I have to download for installing the software. The instructions spoke about Quantal, Saucy, Raring, Precise. What do these terms mean? I am new to Ubuntu and I do not find the easy way to understand it.

Solution 1

Those names are only development codenames. One easy way to discover what's your Ubuntu release is by running lsb_release -rc in a terminal.

You don't have to manually download anything in order to install DupeGuru ME, just add Hardcoded's PPA. Run the following:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:hsoft/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dupeguru-me

The correct package and its dependencies will be automatically downloaded and installed, and updates will be offered when available.

Solution 2

Quantal is an obsolete version,so you can install DupeGuru Music Edition in any one of these versions Saucy,Raring,Precise.
