Precompiled Packages
If you have no need to modify the Nicotine+ source, you are strongly recommended to use precompiled packages for your distribution. This will save you time.
Ubuntu PPA (Unstable)
The project builds daily unstable snapshots in a separate unstable PPA. To use it, run the following:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nicotine-team/unstable
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install nicotineUbuntu PPA (Stable)
To use stable packages, run the following:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nicotine-team/stable
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install nicotineOther Distributions
Package maintainers, please insert instructions for users to install pre-compiled packages from your respective repositories here. For packaging instructions please see PACKAGING. For downstream packages patches DISTRO_PATCHES.
Versioning scheme

-
Stable releases have an even minor version number, ex: 1.4.x, 1.6.x, ...
-
Unstable releases have an odd minor version number, ex: 1.3.x, 1.5.x, ...
