## 2. GNU/Debian

### 2.1. GNU/Debian Linux on i686 Platform

Index Data provides pre-compiled GNU/Debian i686 Linux packages at our Debian package archive, both for the Sarge and the Etch release.

To install these packages, you need to add two lines to your `/etc/apt/sources.list` configuration file, either the Sarge sources found at

          deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian sarge main
          deb-src http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian sarge main

or the Etch sources from

          deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian etch main
          deb-src http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian etch main

After refreshing the package cache with the command

          apt-get update

as `root`, the Zebra indexer is easily installed issuing

          apt-get install idzebra-2.0 idzebra-2.0-doc

### 2.2. Ubuntu/Debian and GNU/Debian on other platforms

These Zebra packages are specifically compiled for GNU/Debian Linux systems. Installation on other GNU/Debian systems is possible by re-compilation the Debian way: you need to add only the `deb-src` sources lines to the `/etc/apt/sources.list` configuration file, that is either the Sarge sources

          deb-src http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian sarge main

or the Etch sources

          deb-src http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian etch main

After refreshing the package cache with the command

          apt-get update
          apt-get build-dep idzebra-2.0

as `root`, the Zebra indexer is recompiled and installed issuing

          fakeroot apt-get source --compile idzebra-2.0

as normal user. The compiled GNU/Debian packages can then be installed as `root` issuing

          dpkg -i install idzebra-2.0*.deb libidzebra-2.0*.deb
