Acquiring Source Code in Ubuntu (Hirsute)
- Update/enable the source package URLs. Note that in Ubuntu, these should already be in the sources.list file and just need to be uncommented. i.e. remove the "#" from the deb-src lines.
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
- An example line might look like this:
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hirsute main restricted
- Update the new package information that was added in step 1.
- Navigate to the directory that the source code will reside in, and download it.
- There should be a directory with the source code along with some other files. Move to the new directory to view the downloaded source code.
See Linux: Compiling and Installing Source Code from the Terminal for compiling and installing.
