Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, XnViewMP is a free application for managing digital images, having support for over 500 image formats and a feature for importing images from scanner. The latest version available is XnViewMP 0.68, which has been released a while ago, coming only with bug-fixes for some already known bugs.
In this article I will show you how to install XnViewMP 0.68 on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Pinguy OS 14.04, Elementary OS 0.3 Freya, LXLE 14.04, Peppermint Five and other Ubuntu 14.04 derivative systems.
Because it is available via PPA, installing XnViewMP 0.68 on Ubuntu 14.04 and derivative systems is easy. All you have to do is add the ppa to your system, update the local repository index and install the xnview package. Like this:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dhor/myway
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install xnview
Optional, to remove XnViewMP, do:
$ sudo apt-get install xnview
If you don’t want to add any ppa to your system, you can download the deb package for your system’s architecture exactly and install it via the command-line. I prefer gdebi over dpkg, due to the fact that it also handles dependencies:
