Installing dependencies on Ubuntu
=================================

The following instructions are for [Ubuntu](https://www.ubuntu.com) 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish).

Basic requirements to run commands:

- sudo (for normal user accounts)

Install dependencies.

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install autoconf automake build-essential cmake git libass-dev libbz2-dev libfontconfig-dev libfreetype-dev libfribidi-dev libharfbuzz-dev libjansson-dev liblzma-dev libmp3lame-dev libnuma-dev libogg-dev libopus-dev libsamplerate0-dev libspeex-dev libtheora-dev libtool libtool-bin libturbojpeg0-dev libvorbis-dev libx264-dev libxml2-dev libvpx-dev m4 make meson nasm ninja-build patch pkg-config tar zlib1g-dev curl libssl-dev clang

For libdovi, you will also need rust, cargoc and associated dependencies:

    curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
    source "$HOME/.cargo/env"
    cargo install cargo-c
    rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

To build with Intel Quick Sync Video support, install the QSV dependencies.

    sudo apt-get install libva-dev libdrm-dev

To build the GTK [GUI](abbr:Graphical User Interface), install the graphical interface dependencies.

    sudo apt-get install appstream desktop-file-utils gettext gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-plugins-good libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libgtk-4-dev

Ubuntu is now prepared to build HandBrake. See [Building HandBrake for Linux](build-linux.html) for further instructions.
