The latest released version is 0.15 . In PiTiVi's world, releases get outdated quickly. You may want to try out the development version instead of a "stable" release, depending on your needs.
Various Linux distributions provide PiTiVi in their repositories, but the version provided may be too old. For an optimal experience, make sure you are using PiTiVi 0.15 . Some of the distros providing PiTiVi are:
aptitude install pitivi (or simply click this link)emerge pitiviyum install pitivizypper in pitiviAn Ubuntu repository is maintained by our team to ease testing. To use it, add ppa:gstreamer-developers/ppa to your system's Software Sources. You can also add it by running this command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gstreamer-developers/ppa && sudo apt-get update
Ubuntu users have a repository for testing PiTiVi on Launchpad. This will ensure you have the latest required gstreamer components.
On most Linux distributions, there are commands to install most (if not all) the required pitivi dependencies automatically, thus saving you a lot of time.
apt-get build-dep pitiviyum-builddep pitivizypper si pitiviYou will probably also need the packages gcc, intltool, python-goocanvas and python-zopeinterface (if the above command did not fetch them for you automatically). On a Fedora/Redhat system, you can get a list of the package runtime dependencies by running yum deplist pitivi.
Tarballs of PiTiVi are available on GNOME FTP and mirrors.
PiTiVi doesn't need to be compiled, but has to be configured all the same. So you have to go through the usual:
./configure && make
And optionally, to install it system-wide:
sudo make install

PiTiVi uses Git as its official revision control system. Detailed instructions on how to use PiTiVi with Git are available here. You can also view the repository history online (see also the other Git repositories).
To get the PiTiVi master branch:
git clone git://git.pitivi.org/git/pitivi.git
You can then go in the directory where you pulled the git branch and build PiTiVi; note that you need subversion and CVS, because the ./configure script will pull certain things from gstreamer CVS.
PiTiVi doesn't need to be compiled, but has to be configured all the same. So you have to go through the usual:
./autogen.sh && ./configure && make
If ./configure fails with something like the following, then you also need to install the intltool package.
...You can run pitivi locally (without needing to install it system-wide; recommended for development) using the following command (make sure you're in the pitivi git directory already):
bin/pitivi
