There are three main ways of installing MythTV: compile from source, install packages from your distro's repository on to an existing Linux system or install a MythTV-enabled distro. Within each folder, configure and build each component (example for mythtv folder): cd /Download/mythtv/./configure make su make install For mythplugins, if you don't want some modules you might want to disable them (run './configure -help' in each directory to see the options you can set for the build). MythTV uses Video for Linux (V4L) to access video input devices such as encoders and tuners.In FreeBSD, MythTV works best with USB DVB-S/C/T cards as they are well supported by the multimedia/webcamd package or port which provides a V4L userland application. Any Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) card supported by webcamd should work with MythTV.A list of known working. There are different ways to get MythTV installed on your system, from easiest to most difficult: Using a MythTV Custom Linux distribution (e.g. MythBuntu, Linhes, etc.) more info. Using your Linux distribution's package manager, for example apt-get. Build from source.

Dependencies
How To Install Mythtv For Linux Mint
First install the dependancies instructions can be found at Build_from_Source#Installing_Build_Dependencies_without_Ansible
Getting and compiling the source code
| Step | Command to run |
|---|---|
| create a directory | cd |
| clone the git mythtv packages | cd ~/build |
| Start the build. This script checks out the latest version of fixes/30 from git and builds the packages. 31.0. | ./build-debs.sh fixes/30 |
In general, you should probably choose the stable version. If you don't mind if your MythTV system is non-functional or has serious bugs that may prevent proper operation/result in lost recordings or inability to play back recordings, you may try using the unstable, development code replace the above fixes/30 with master. If using unstable, development code, you should follow the mythtv-commits and mythtv-dev mailing lists.
After about 30 minutes the build will complete and there will be a lot of .deb files in the current directory.
Decide what type of installation you need.
If this is your first system and you are using a single box for recording and watching, you need a complete frontend, backend and database. Choose the mythtv package.
If you are adding a Frontend to an existing system, to allow for watching on another TV or computer system, choose the mythtv-frontend package.
If you are adding a Slave Backend use mythtv-backend. This is an advanced usage that few people will need.
There are packages for installing a complete system, or for installing parts of a multi server system.
| mythtv | Complete frontend and backend system with database. |
| mythtv-frontend | Frontend that connects to a separate backend. |
| mythtv-backend | Backend without database. This is either a master backend where there is a separate database server or a slave backend. |
| mythtv-backend-master | Master Backend with database. |
| mythtv-database | MythTV database only. Advanced use where there is a separate database server from backend. You will need to also install mysql server when using this. |
| mythplugins | Plugins for a frontend system. Install this after installing your main package from earlier in this list. |
| mythweb | MythWeb provides a frontend for scheduling and managing recordings from a web browser. |
Once you have the correct Release version in your repository, install the package, as follows:
See Ticket URL
The packages do the following:
- Install mythtv software and all prerequisites.
- Install MySQL database software.
- Create a MySQL database user for MythTV
- Set up the MythTV configuration file.
- Create an upstart configuration that automatically runs the backend at system startup time.
- Configure a weekly backup of the database using Anacron.
- Create desktop entries to launch MythTV and the MythTV setup from the GUI menus (Unity, Gnome or other desktops you may have installed).
Once the software is installed, proceed to Configuring MythTV.

How To Install Mythtv

Just curious how I would go about updating the MythTV Addon for LibreeleC?
I run Librelec on a couple of Intel NUC's ... and I want to upgrade in preperation for upgrading my mythtv-backend to 30.
Do I just need to install linux on another machine and compile it? I see he has Rpi2 addon updates on github for librelec, but it doesn't work on the nucs ...
Thanks!
