How To Install Netflix in Ubuntu 12.10

Until recently, watching Netflix on Linux was not possible since Silverlight was not available on Linux. Finally, Netflix is available in Ubuntu 12.10 in the form an unofficial app. I have used it and it works great.
Installing Netflix on Ubuntu 12.10 is quite simple.

Here are the steps:
  1. Open up a terminal window
  2. Type sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio and hit Enter
  3. Issue the command sudo apt-get update
  4. Issue the command sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop
  5. Say OK to dependencies and Installation will begin.
Depending on the network speed, this could take some time. Once that’s over.
  1. Open the Unity Dash
  2. Type netflix  and NetFlix app will appear.
  3. Click on the Icon and Enjoy your movies!
Note this is a work around and  not an official app from Netflix and is not supported from Netflix.
