YUView on Linux

For some linux distributions we offer precompiled packages that are easily installed. If this does not apply to you you can easily compile YUView on Linux.

Ubuntu

On Ubuntu you can directly install YUView from a ppa. Just open a terminal and execute the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:schneider-p/ppa-ient
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install yuview
Note that those commands will install the player to /usr/bin and create a desktop entry. The package does not contain the libde265. So if you want to decode hevc streams within YUView, you have install it separately.
sudo apt-get install libde265-internals
You could also copy the precompiled libde265-internals from this repository to a location where YUView can find it. A good place would be /usr/lib or your favorite YUView startup directory.
If the package from the ppa is outdated you will be notified by YUView at startup.

Arch

For Arch linux there is a package available in the AUR. Simply follow this link
YUView Arch Linux
and install the package by hand or via an AUR-helper. This package will take the current YUView master branch, build and install it, every time you install the package. If YUView is outdated, just install the package again. If the package from the AUR is outdated you will be notified by YUView at startup.
