I want to update and refresh my Pear Linux tutorial. This time, we will install the XBMC media center on the new version of Pear Linux 7. Pear Linux 7 is a perfect Linux for desktop which can be easily turned into a multimedia center for our home. With XBMC, we can make Pear Linux 7 into a powerful media center in few minutes.
How to install XBMC on Pear Linux 7
A. Using Pear OS Software Center
Open Pear OS Software Center and type "xbmc" on the search box. Click XBMC Media Center and press install to start the installation.
When the installation finished, you can start using XBMC via Launchpad | Sound & Video.
B. Via command line
Alternatively you can simply use the command below to install xbmc on Pear Linux 7
sudo apt-get install xbmc
Since xbmc repository is integrated with Pear Linux, the command above will work like a charm.
Thank you.
