Add link on appropriate repository into <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> file.
Repository should be selected according to operating system.
''Debian 6:''
<tt><nowiki>deb http://repo.acestream.org/debian/ squeeze main</nowiki></tt>
or
<tt><nowiki>deb http://repo.acestream.org/debian/ sid main</nowiki></tt>
Note: packages in sid repository are assembled with dependencies that correspond to official sid-repositories of Debian.
If you don't know, which repository to choose, use squeeze.

''Ubuntu 11.10:''
<tt><nowiki>deb http://repo.acestream.org/ubuntu/ oneiric main</nowiki></tt>

<tt>apt-get update</tt>
<tt>apt-get install acestream-engine</tt>
''Ubuntu''
<tt>sudo apt-get update</tt>

*'''acestream-player''' - desktop player
*'''acestream-player-data''' - set of common libraries for the player and plug-in
