Installing Rapid Photo Downloader 0.9.36

Tip: If you installed Rapid Photo Downloader using the old install.py script, you must first uninstall it using the tool below, then reinstall it using your system's standard package management tools:

Ubuntu 22.04 and 23.10

For stable releases, add the PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dlynch3

To install pre-release versions in addition to stable releases, add the testing PPA instead (the command should be entered on one line):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dlynch3/rapid-photo-downloader-testing

Pre-release versions are generally quite stable, but might have the odd issue from time-to-time.

If you have already installed Rapid Photo Downloader from the Ubuntu archives, upgrade it:

sudo apt upgrade

If installing for the first time, install it:

sudo apt install rapid-photo-downloader

Other Linux distributions

A method to install the latest version of Rapid Photo Downloader on other Linux distributions is coming soon.
