However, if you want to enjoy its full capability, it’s recommended you have RAM of more than 1.5 GB and your system be 64-bit. For instance, it only requires you to have a memory of 512 MB and can work with 600 MB of disk space. The good thing with Stellarium is that it can work with minimal resources making it easy to install and use on Linux, Windows, and macOS. This guide presents how to install Stellarium on Ubuntu 22.04. With Stellarium, you will get a powerful close view of the sky and plenty of features are at your disposal to spice your view. It is similar to how you would view the sky using your eyes or telescope. sudo rm /etc/apt//stellarium.Stellarium is an open-source planetarium app that you install on your Linux system to give you a realistic 3D view of the sky. I suggest that users who do not want to use the software again remove the PPA using the following command. Do not use the purge end flag if you wish to keep the data. Note that this will delete all data, including all database data added with the –purge flag.

Use the following command that matches your installation. The removal of the Stellarium is straightforward. sudo apt update & sudo apt upgrade How to Remove/Uninstall Stellarium But I would always recommend updating using the command line terminal with CLI to ensure updates are getting processed. Most users would often update when the desktop GUI notifies them, which is excellent. For new users of this software, I highly suggest grabbing the user-guide PDF and perhaps joining the mailing list or discussions to collaborate with others. Import Daily Release (Development/Testing) echo 'deb jammy main' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt//stellarium.listįrom this point, I suggest going into the configuration menu in the top right-hand corner and customizing. Import Stable Release (Recommended) echo 'deb jammy main' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt//stellarium.list Option 2. I do not recommend the beta repository, as you may be waiting quite a while for updates on it, given its purpose. Again, I would suggest stable for most users and daily for those without potentially unstable software who want the latest bleeding-edge software. sudo gpg -no-default-keyring -keyring /usr/share/keyrings/stellarium.gpg -keyserver -recv-keys 4283D01497ADF8D09CFA9B6C1932F485C68D72A5Įxample output: gpg: key 1932F485C68D72A5: public key 'Launchpad Stellarium Test Builds' imported If you have issues importing the GPG key, please see the end section on GPG troubleshooting at the end of the article.
