h1. Debian-Ubuntu installation by packages The Foreman packages should work on the following Debian-based Linux distributions: * Debian Linux 5.0 (Lenny), see [[Debian-Ubuntu installation by packages#Debian-Linux-50-Lenny|notes below]] [[Installation_instructions#Debian-Linux-50-Lenny]] * Debian Linux 6.0 (Squeeze) * Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) * Ubuntu Linux 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) * Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) If you encounter any errors during the installation, please file a bug report! Add one of the following lines to your @/etc/apt/sources.list@ (alternatively in a separate file in @/etc/apt/sources.list.d/foreman.list@): <pre> # Stable packages deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ stable main # Testing packages deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ testing main # Nightly builds. Beware: HERE BE DRAGONS deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ nightly main </pre> The public key for "secure APT":http://wiki.debian.org/SecureApt can be downloaded "here":http://deb.theforeman.org/foreman.asc You can add this key with <pre> apt-key add foreman.asc </pre> or combine downloading and registering: <pre> wget -q http://deb.theforeman.org/foreman.asc -O- | apt-key add - </pre> The key fingerprint is <pre> 1DCB 15D1 2CA1 40EE F494 7E57 66CF 053F E775 FF07 Foreman Archive Signing Key <packages@theforeman.org> </pre> To install Foreman, run <pre> sudo apt-get update # Depending on the database you want to use with Foreman, # install one of these meta-packages: sudo apt-get install foreman-mysql sudo apt-get install foreman-pgsql sudo apt-get install foreman-sqlite3 # or install the foreman main package and configure the # database manually in /etc/foreman/database.yml sudo apt-get install foreman </pre> The only purpose of the meta-packages @foreman-mysql@, @foreman-pgsql@, and @foreman-sqlite3@ is to pull in any dependencies on the respective database system during the package installation. If you don't want to run the Foreman database on the same host, please use the @foreman@ package and configure the database settings in @/etc/foreman/database.yml@. You cannot use @dbconfig-common@ in this case. h3. Debian Linux 5.0 (Lenny) Users of Debian Lenny will have to install "rake":http://packages.debian.org/lenny-backports/rake and "libsinatra-ruby":http://packages.debian.org/lenny-backports/libsinatra-ruby from @lenny-backports@. See http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/ for instructions on how to add @lenny-backports@ to your list of repositories and install a package from it.
