How to install Delaboratory in Ubuntu

To install Delaboratory in Ubuntu

Delaboratory is an color editing tool used to correct the photo colors that bridge between a digital darkroom and a graphics editor. It is featured with real time preview, nondestructive edition, color picker and color matrices. Installation of Delaboratory in Ubuntu is discussed in this manual.

Installation of Delaboratory

First add the following repositories with the below given command.

root@linuxhelp1:~# add-apt-repository ppa:anton+/photo-video-apps
 Photo Video Applications build for the Standard (GTK) Ubuntu platforms
______________________________________________________________________

WARNING: This PPA contains the latest available libraries to build the applications. In some cases you may be asked for a " Partial Upgrade" ,
or removal of an earlier installed application.

Please do read the following explanations on how to proceed carefully.
______________________________________________________________________

DO NOT ACCEPT ANY PARTIAL UPGRADE as it will remove from your system some application(s) not build with the latest libraries dependency.

I have already posted in this PPA, Photo Video Apps rebuild with the latest libraries. If you have an application to be removed by an update (partial upgrade) please contact me. I will upload here a new build for this particular application.

https://launchpad.net/~anton+

Still some folks like Mr. Dariusz Duma in his ' Highly explosive!'  PPA, Mr. Pascal de Bruijn in his ' Darktable Releases'  PPA do mess with the versions of some applications. They place a number followed by a colon (:) before the official numbering of the upstream application. Most of the time they use 1: followed by the upstream version nbr, although neither Debian nor Ubuntu use this scheme in their published package for the respective application. I don' t see the usefulness of such a versioning aside from being assured that their packages will prevail over other packages (from other PPAs and Official ones as well) lacking the ' 1:'  prefix, whatever the upstream version is.
