Hi there, I’ve just upgraded my Linux media server to Ubuntu 16.04 and it has installed my PlexHT installation so I want to install it again. I’ve done some searching that has directed me to [https://forums.plex.tv/topic/87253-plex-home-theater-linux-builds/](https://forums.plex.tv/topic/87253-plex-home-theater-linux-builds/) but it says I don’t have access even though I should. I’m a Plex Pass holder for many years now. Maybe that thread is dead and there is somewhere else I should be looking Any ideas? ---

Nevermind, I found the sudo-apt command to install it from my apt sources ``` sudo apt-get install plexhometheater ``` ---

> @lachatonfou@gmail.com said: > how should my apt sources be config’d to apt-get that package? `deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/plexapp/plexht/ubuntu xenial main` but i do think you need to be a plex pass holder to be able to use it. not sure. i’ve been having problems with play back as well so not sure how good the build is ---

SO, I’ve stumbled into this thread and, after adding the `deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/plexapp/plexht/ubuntu xenial main` to my /etc/apt/sources.list I was presented with > The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO\_PUBKEY 5CB313A0EB7DFFFB > This was (easily?) fixed by installing y-ppa-manager > `sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-manager` > `sudo apt-get update` > `sudo apt-get install y-ppa-manager` > This is a handy GUI tool which can be launched via terminal ‘y-ppa-manager’ then clicking on Advanced, from the list of advanced tasks, select “Try to import all missing GPG keys” and click OK.

you can always download the missing packages from ubuntu’s older repo or debian and install them manually [https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libs/libcec2](https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libs/libcec2) [https://packages.debian.org/jessie/libpng12-0](https://packages.debian.org/jessie/libpng12-0) [https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libglew1.13](https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libglew1.13) [https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libboost-thread1.58.0](https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libboost-thread1.58.0) [https://pkgs.org/download/libgcrypt11](https://pkgs.org/download/libgcrypt11) =1.5.3 [https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libgnutls26](https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libgnutls26) then sudo dpkg -i \*.deb if you find broken dependency google is your friend then sudo apt install -f sudo apt-get install plexhometheater ---
