How do I correctly install ffDiaporama (slideshow software) on Ubuntu 12.04

  • 772

Background

I had some issues with dependencies etc and I thought it would be useful if I posted the correct solution here so other community members could benefit. I am not sure it appropriate to do this on AU but there are a lot of high profiles sites out there giving incomplete information. (This caused me some issues)

Note :ffDiaporama is an open source application for creating video sequences consisting of titles, fixed or animated, images or photos, fixed or animated, movie clips & music.
