In Ubuntu 8.04, the default ccsm manager is version 0.7.4. Later, version 0.7.6 was released. If you want to install it using git, you have tried it. It is very troublesome and the speed is not good. I tried to search for the 0.7.6 version from the update source, and found out more new features.

(The best thing to install from the Ubuntu 8.04 update source is: You don't have to worry about compilation errors, and you don't have to uninstall the original version. It is safe and suitable for cainiao-level figures, you can download the source code and compile it slowly !)

Code:

Sudo gedit/etc/apt/sources. list

Add the following sources to the file:
