Supported Distributions

Currently pre-compiled packages are available only for Debian based distributions.

We develop IsiSetup on Ubuntu Dapper and Debian Sarge. These distributions are thus tested most. But we guess that other Debian based distributions can be managed using IsiSetup. I'd like to hear about your experience using IsiSetup on other Distributions: simon.huerlimann@logintas.ch

Add APT repositories

We provide an APT repository containing binaries for IsiSetup and dependencies that aren't released with Debian proper. To make packages from our APT repository available you need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list. Append the following line:

# IsiSetup binary and source repositories
deb http://debian.isisetup.ch/ unstable/
deb-src http://debian.isisetup.ch/ unstable/

Then you need to update the package cache:

sudo apt-get update

Debian Sarge

IsiSetup depends on Git and Cogito. These packages aren't available in the Sarge distribution. But you can install them from the 'official' Debian packport repository. Here's how:

Add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:

# IsiSetup binary and source repositories
deb http://debian.isisetup.ch/ unstable/
deb-src http://debian.isisetup.ch/ unstable/

# Backport repository for Debian Sarge
deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports main

Note: The packages from the Backport repository get a priority of 1 by default. This means that they should never be installed except a package only exists there or a package is explicitly requested.

Then you need to update the package cache:

sudo apt-get update

Install IsiSetup

When you've setup the APT repository you can install IsiSetup:

sudo apt-get install isisetup
