Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, FrostWire is a free, open-source, cross-platform BitTorrent application, running on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. The latest version available is FrostWire 5.7.3, which has been released recently, coming with fixes for the broken EZTV search, new Yifi search, got support for Canonical Peer Priority and removed the httpclient and httpcore libraries.
In this article I will show you how to install FrostWire 5.7.3 on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pinguy OS, Elementary OS, Debian, LXLE, Kwheezy and other Debian and Ubuntu derivative systems.
The easiest way to install FrostWire 5.7.3 on Ubuntu, Debian and derivatives is to download the deb package from the frostwire site and install it via command-line. I prefer gdebi over dpkg due to the fact that it also handles dependencies:
$ sudo apt-get install gdebi
$ wget http://dl.frostwire.com/frostwire/5.7.3/frostwire-5.7.3.all.deb
$ sudo gdebi frostwire-5.7.3.all.deb
