Munipack ‒ Installation

# Installation

This page reviews alternatives to install of Munipack.

## Munipack in Debian and Ubuntu (and its derivatives)

Munipack is available as an official package repository in Debian (since June 2017) and Ubuntu (April 2017). Regular issues of (these) distributions are usually delayed behind Munipack releases itself.

The installation is straightforward by standard software tools. Packages can be found in appropriate repositories: Debian, Ubuntu. To install Munipack, just type the command in a terminal:

      $ sudo apt install munipack

## Development repository for Debian stable

There is a bleeding edge branch of Munipack, which is primary intended for various testing purposes. The latest development packages are usually available only for the stable 64-bit Debian.

The repository can be activated by downloading of munipack.sources, and my (also available on Hockeypuck OpenPGP keyserver by my e-mail address) public GPG key. Put it in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/`:

      $ wget -qO- https://munipack.physics.muni.cz/devel/munipack.sources | \
        sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/munipack.sources

      $ wget -qO- https://munipack.physics.muni.cz/devel/munipack-devel.gpg | \
        sudo tee -a /usr/share/keyrings/munipack-devel.gpg

The location of the GPG public key file must match `Signed-By` line in `munipack.sources`; the path `/usr/share/keyrings` is recommended by Debian wiki.

The installation itself is straightforward:

    # apt update
    # apt install munipack

Be warned, the development release can contain various problems and errors, outdated documentation, etc. If needed, anything can be corrected in the source package. Follow instructions described by Debian Administrator's Handbook.

## Source code and bundle install

Munipack is designed as multiplatform software; it can be compiled under many computer systems. The building from the source code is the most portable way.

Packages for DEB and RPM base distributions can be prepared.
