Updating popcorn time app

Question

I have this app for watching movies, but it does not show up in Ubuntu Software Center, nor can I uninstall it or update it. I cannot tell what version I have, because I cannot find it among the installed packages. I tried dpkg --get-selections | grep -i popcor and nothing shows up. Any help, please?

The reason I am trying to update it or reinstall it is that I always get 'Error loading data' on the home screen of the app.

Solution

This web site tells you how to install the current version.

The commands you need are:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/popcorntime
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install popcorn-time
