###Software Note you can install some of this software via the Software Manager which comes pre-installed, although, it has its limitations in scope so I typical install everything via the console. Nevertheless, take a look at the various packages it has to offer something might trip your trigger.

• Sublime *

  • Refer to the following: My Sublime SetUp

• Chrome

  • You should be able to just install it by going to Chrome
  • If not you may have to install it manually
    • wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
    • sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list'
    • sudo apt-get update
    • sudo apt-get install google-chrome-beta

• Update Chrome

  • sudo apt-get --only-upgrade install google-chrome-beta
  • killall google-chrome

• VLC

  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install vlc browser-plugin-vlc

• Spotify

  1. Search for and open the “Software & Updates” utility from Unity Dash.
  2. Under “Other Software” tab, click the Add button and paste the below line into the pop-up box: deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free
  3. sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 94558F59
  4. sudo apt-get update
  5. sudo apt-get install spotify-client

• Pandora Client which is pretty cool, unlimited skips no adds, plus you can see the next songs that will be played. And did I mention that is with a free account?? Although, here is the catch you will have to create a new pandora account once a week or so since your account will get flagged and all of a sudden you will start to hear ads. Although, there is no email verification so it really is not much of a hassle

  • Best way to install this is via the Software Manager which is a program that comes pre-install. Open that up and search for pithos and install it.

• Simple Screen Recorder which is what I use to do the screen casts

  • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maarten-baert/simplescreenrecorder
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install simplescreenrecorder
  • If you want to record 32-bit OpenGL applications on a 64-bit system:
    • sudo apt-get install simplescreenrecorder-lib:i386

• Guvcview web-cam recorder

  • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pj-assis/ppa
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install guvcview
