You could try the instructions here:
  https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/ubuntu

(Yeah, I know the URL doesn't mention Mint, but if you start at the
Wiki homepage (https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki) and
follow the links for "Installation" and "Ubuntu / Mint" that's where
you end up.)
