Mozilla’s email client Thunderbird 3 was released just a few days back. In the release page, however only the .tar file was available for Linux. In this post we will show you how to install Thunderbird 3 in Ubuntu 9.10 from the Mozilla PPA.
- Add the Mozilla PPA in your source list using:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa
- Update source list using:
sudo apt-get update
- Install Thunderbird 3 using:
sudo apt-get install thunderbird-3.0
It is advised that you remove the repository from the source list after the installation. If you do not know how to do it, here is how:
- In Terminal, execute the command,
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.d/sourceubuntu-mozilla-daily-ppa-karmic.list
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.d/ubuntu-mozilla-daily-ppa-karmic.list.save
sudo apt-get update
- Save and close the file. Done.
