JDownloader is an awesome and free download manager that supports a large number of file sharing websites.
Here is how to install it on Linux Mint / Ubuntu :
1. First add the appropriate jdownloader PPA by opening Terminal and typing :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jd-team/jdownloader
2. Next update the Linux Mint / Ubuntu repository by typing :
sudo apt-get update
3. Finally install the jdownloader application :
sudo apt-get install jdownloader
Note : if you try to directly install using step 3, it won’t be recognized as the jdownloader repository by default is not added to Ubuntu and Linux Mint, hence the first two steps are required to do that.
This will install it and then launch the web update, once update is complete get ready to download stuff using the cool JDownloader from within Linux Mint / Ubuntu 🙂
Happy downloading.
