How to Install HandBrake in Ubuntu:
HandBrake has an official PPA which so far supports for Ubuntu 19.10 and Ubuntu 20.04.
1.) Open terminal either by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T on keyboard or by searching for ‘terminal’ from ‘Show Applications’ menu. When it opens, run command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases
Type user password (no asterisk feedback) for sudo prompts and hit Enter to continue adding the PPA.
2.) Once the PPA is updated with the new release packages, you can run following commands one by one to install it on your system:
sudo apt update sudo apt install handbrake-gtk
(Optional) To remove the handbrake PPA repository, either go to Software & Updates -> Other Software, or run command:
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases
In addition, HandBrake also available to install in Ubuntu via Flatpak package.
The last optional commandline in point 2 (remove handbrake) looks like a copy&paste of the add repository command. I think there is a –remove flag missing. This removes the repository not the installed software. To uninstall handbrake you should use a apt purge command.
