    1. Open terminal via Ctrl+Alt+T or by searching “Terminal” from start menu. When it opens, run command to add PPA:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/vlc

    2. (IMPORTANT) Remove old VLC version to avoid a package conflict:

    sudo apt remove vlc vlc-nox

    3. Finally run commands in terminal to check updates and install VLC 2.2.5:

    sudo apt update && sudo apt install vlc
