Debian, Ubuntu, Knoppix,... are all linux distribution based on debian. The same set of instructions applies to build the frePPLe package.

Debian package files are provided, but the package has not been reviewed by a mentor and approved yet. An official debian source package isn't available now.
Any volunteer packagers to help out with this process?

  • Install the packages required for the build. This steps requires root privileges.
    apt-get build-dep frepple
  • Download the source package and build the package.
    apt-get -b source frepple
  • The previous step produces a binary installation file that can now be installed. This steps requires root privileges.
    dpkg -i frepple*.deb
