[xzKinGzxBuRnzx]

If you already have par2 installed use "sudo apt-get remove --purge par2" This will remove it as its not the same version (single core).

For 64 bit Ubuntu:

wget http://www.chuchusoft.com/par2_tbb/par2cmdline-0.4-tbb-20100203-lin64.tar.gz
tar -zxvf par2cmdline-0.4-tbb-20100203-lin64.tar.gz
rm par2cmdline-0.4-tbb-20100203-lin64.tar.gz
cd par2cmdline-0.4-tbb-20100203-lin64
rm COPYING
rm README_FIRST.txt
sudo cp * /usr/local/bin/
cd ~
rm -rf par2cmdline-0.4-tbb-20100203-lin64
sudo chmod 777 /usr/local/bin/par2
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/par2

For 32 bit Ubuntu:

wget http://www.chuchusoft.com/par2_tbb/par2cmdline-0.4-tbb-20090203-lin32.tar.gz
tar -zxvf par2cmdline-0.4-tbb-20090203-lin32.tar.gz
rm par2cmdline-0.4-tbb-20090203-lin32.tar.gz
