Step 0: Check if there are binary packages available for your platform

If you do not find binary packages for your platform or the packages you found do not seem to work, follow the next two steps to download xine sources and install them:

Step 1: Download and install xine-lib

xine-lib is the xine core engine, it is needed for all frontends and applications that use xine. You can find build and installation instructions here

xine-lib
xine-engine and many plugins, required
xine-lib-1.1.6.tar.bz2
xine-lib-1.1.5.tar.bz2
xine-lib-1.1.4.tar.bz2
xine-lib-1.1.3.tar.gz
xine-lib-1.1.2.tar.bz2


Step 2: Download and install a frontend

A lot of different frontends exist today for various tastes and purposes. Most of them are media/dvd-player like frontends, but there are also frontends for special purposes like browser and file manager plugins.

Some parts of xine (especially audio/video codecs) may be subject to patent royalities in some countries. If you provide pre-compiled binaries or intend to build derivative works based on the xine source please consider this issue.

binary packages (rpm, deb)

The xine project itself does not provide any pre-compiled binary packages.
Depending on your Linux distribution, xine may be already available from your vendor.

Debian packages may be downloaded via apt from Debian's official repository (however, gxine isn't in sarge). You just need to run something like:

# apt-get install xine-ui
# aptitude install gxine
