Installing the mythtv software
From YourSupportStoreWiki
The best way to install it is to use your distributions package manager and then install
Redhat based distributions will use yum
make sure you have the atrpms and freshrpms repo configured
yum install mythtv-suite
Debian based will use aptitude
make sure the debian-multimedia repo is installed
apt-get install mythtv-suite
Slackware will use slapt if you want instructions then go here. http://www.mnspace.net/articles/mythtv-slack12.1.html
I dont need to rewrite these instructions.
SUSE uses YaST
add the Packman repository in YaST.
Go to
http://packman.links2linux.org/package/mythtv
and click the one click install.
or open yast and pick out the packages to install them.
if you use neither then you can download the source or the prepackaged binary rpm deb or tgz.
if you want compile it yourself then I suggest going to the mythtv site and following the instructions.
http://www.mythtv.org/download
Also here is a list of mythtv official operating system install instructions.

you can also use my install script if you want it works with redhats fedora. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know and I will try and work them into the script. you can install it by
log into root
mkdir /mythtv chmod 777 /mythtv cd /mythtv wget http://yoursupportstore.com/media/mythtv-install-3.2.tar.bz2 tar -xvf mythtv-install-*.tar.bz2 chmod 777 mythupgrade.sh ./mythupgrade.sh
this will do a full install of mythtv on fedora 11 as long as the atrpms and rpmfusion repo's haven't changed. If you want an earlier version of the script you can go here.
