install xbmc frodo on ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid)

xbmc does not seem to provide PPAs for Ubuntu Lucid at the moment. Like many others, I am not upgrading from Lucid LTS for another 2 years until its LTS span runs out, if I can help it.

Here's how to install xbmc 12.0 (aka Frodo) on Ubuntu Lucid:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/xbmc-nightly 
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install xbmc 
sudo apt-get install libtag1-dev 

Enjoy!
