Install Handbrake

In order to run Handbrake on Ubuntu, you'll need to install the packages necessary to compile the source code. 

sudo apt-get install subversion yasm build-essential autoconf libtool zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev \
  libxml2-dev libogg-dev libtheora-dev libvorbis-dev libsamplerate-dev libfribidi-dev \
  libfreetype6-dev libfontconfig1-dev libass-dev

Download HandBrake Source code 

mkdir ~/src
cd ~/src
svn checkout svn://svn.handbrake.fr/HandBrake/trunk handbrake
cd handbrake
./configure --launch --disable-gtk

The build process will begin and download more source code and libraries from the web. When it completes, you will have the HandBrakeCLI binary in the build directory. 

cd build
sudo make install
