7thStar: /* Installing VLC on Debian GNU/Linux */

== Installing VLC on Debian GNU/Linux ==

If you are using Debian Sarge, Sid, or Etch (VLC is currently available in Etch) then you can install VLC using the Apt manager. Just log into a terminal, "Accessories>Terminal" as root, using either '''sudo''' or '''su''', (if this is confusing, type "man sudo" or "man su", '''without''' the quotation marks, for detailed instructions) then type the following and you are done:

# apt-get install vlc

Look out there are many deprecated vlc based packages like gnome-vlc etc. Just installing vlc will do.

Many vlc plugins can be installed afterwards (some of these are no longer used and are "dummy packages"): {{check}}
vlc-plugin-alsa - ALSA audio output plugin for VLC (install it if sound doesn't work)
vlc-plugin-arts - aRts audio output plugin for VLC (install it if sound still doesn't work and you're using KDE)
vlc-plugin-esd - Esound audio output plugin for VLC (install it if sound still doesn't work and you're using Gnome)
vlc-plugin-ggi - GGI video output plugin for VLC
vlc-plugin-glide - Glide video output plugin for VLC
vlc-plugin-sdl - SDL video and audio output plugin for VLC
vlc-plugin-svgalib - SVGAlib video output plugin for VLC

All the above plugins are available in Debian Etch as well.
