Install Terminator 0.90 Beta 2 In Ubuntu Karmic And Lucid From A PPA

We covered Terminator 0.90 a while back so I won't introduce it again. The great news is that you can now install Terminator 0.90 beta 2 via a PPA:

Method 1 - the official test PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome-terminator/test

And then install it with:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install terminator

Method 2 - WebUpd8 PPA (newer build):

Terminator 0.90 was already available in our PPA too, but we never announced it. However, the version in the Web Upd8 PPA was 0.90 alpha 2, and today I updated it to the latest BZR version (which is newer than in the PPA above) and you can install it using the same sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install terminator command as above (make sure you have the WebUpd8 PPA added).

Due to the bug in version naming (I initially named Terminator wrong in the Web Upd8 PPA), to upgrade to Terminator beta 2 - latest BZR version as of today (if already installed the previous alpha version), you must run this:

sudo apt-get remove terminator
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install terminator

Update: Terminator 0.90 final has been released (installation instructions)
