Setps to install Stremio on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Linux

The steps given here can be used on other Linux based on this Linux such as POP_OS 22.04, Linux Mint, Elementary, and others.

1. Update Ubuntu 22.04

If you haven’t updated your system for a while then before following this tutorial once the run the system update command, here is the one to follow:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

 

2. Download Stremio Linux App

Although Stremio is open-source software, it is not available to install using the default package repository of Ubuntu. Hence, we have to manually download the executable binary of the program available on its official website of it. Open the browser and then visit the Stremio Download page.

There click on the Debian/Ubuntu version.

 

3. Install Stremio on Ubuntu 22.04

Next, go back to your command terminal and first switch to the Downloads directory. Whatever we download from the browser, goes into that.

cd Downloads

Now, use the APT package manager to install this open-source Stremio streaming application on Ubuntu 22.04

sudo apt install ./stremio*amd64.deb

If you get a dependencies error, then run:

sudo apt install -f

or 

sudo apt --fix-broken install

 

In case the above command didn’t solve the issue of dependency and you are still getting an error of –

“libfdk-acc1 ( >=0.1.5)  but it is not installable” then run below two commands:

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/fdk-aac/libfdk-aac1_0.1.6-1_amd64.deb

sudo apt install ./libfdk-aac1_*_amd64.deb

sudo apt --fix-broken install

Now, again run the installation command that is:

sudo apt install ./stremio*amd64.deb

If you get another error – Stremio: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. Then to solve it, we need to download two more packages manually, here is that.

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.20_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.20_amd64.deb

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/fdk-aac/libfdk-aac1_0.1.6-1_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i libfdk-aac1_0.1.6-1_amd64.deb

7. Install Add-ons

To add different sources for videos to stream we need to add Add-ons available on the Stremio app. After completing the installation, click on the three icons given on the top right side and select Add-ons.

Select the category you want the related add-ons to be added to. Scroll and click on the green color Install button. You can add the one, that source you want to use, or just install all if you are not sure what add-ons you need.

 

Now go to the Home of the Stremio app and either search or select the movie or series you want to watch. A couple of sources will appear from where you can play that particular media you want. However, some of them would be slow while others fast. Therefore, you have to check and play them one by one. Once the playback started you can enjoy it.
