1. Download the latest realease. It's 0.9.8 as of writing.
2. Install it with their instructions. I ran into a problem though - I have MySQL already but not the files Sphinx needs to install. If you ran into this problem, continue:
3. In console, type:
mysql_config --cflags
That will tell you the package you need to install.
4. Mine was libmysqlclient15-dev:
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev
5. Try installing Sphinx again, it should work this time.

The link 'their instructions' does not work - it points to some local file at your computer.
please can you fix it that link.. i really need that.
thanks
Hello.. I do not have a link in "their instructions", but what I meant was that you follow the instructions in the sphinx website.
The instructions referenced are part of the sphinx download. Once you extract the .tar.gz, open doc/sphinx.html
But yeah, linking to a file URL...not so helpful.
The broken link everyone is looking for, can be found inside the .tar ball. Extract and inside a folder named Doc. Then open the sphinx.html file.
