Installing HandBrake
Before you start with the installation, you need to add the repo to the sources.list configuration file. Run the following command which opens the sources.list file.
root@debian:~# nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Now add these lines at end of the file.
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stable-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stable-updates main contrib non-free deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security stable/updates main deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian-security stable/updates main deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main
After adding, save it and exit from the file.
You also need to update the apt sources.list file after that. Run the following command for the same purpose.
root@linuxhelppp:~# apt-get update
