Installing Azureus on Ubuntu is far easier than it is on Windows. This tutorial assumes >you know how to log in as root and how to use a text editor such as kwrite or vi.

Steps

Step 1

Ensure that you have your universe & multiverse repositories enabled. (You may already have done this to enable mp3 support, if so skip this step)

Edit the following file as root:

/etc/apt/sources.list 

Remove the '#' at the start of lines

deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe

and

deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-backports main restricted universe multiverse

Note: your file settings my be different than mine. Just make sure that if the line starts with "deb http://" and contains "universe" or/and "multiverse" you remove the "#" at the start of the line

Step 2

Open a command-prompt and type 'sudo apt-get install azureus'. Using the GUI(adept):

Open the "Adept Installer" and search for "Azureus"

make sure "any suite" is selected 

and show "unsupported"

click on Azureus

click "Apply Changes"
