It is not a very extensive +set of instructions, yet. In particular, itreally only caters to +Debian users. Instructions for other systems would be very much welcome. + +Debian +------ + +It is easiest to install Obnam on a Debian system. If you're running +Debian `wheezy` or a later release, Obnam is included and you can just +install it: + + apt-get install obnam + +There may be a newer version of Obnam on the author's site. The rest +of this section explains how to install from there. + +Add the following line to your `/etc/apt/sources.list` file: + + deb http://code.liw.fi/debian squeeze main + +Then run the following commands as root: + +* `apt-get update` +* `apt-get install obnam` + +The commands will complain that the PGP key used to sign the archive +is not known to apt. You can either ignore this, or add the key from +<http://code.liw.fi/apt.asc> to your key, after suitable verification. + +Other systems +------------- + +For other systems, you need to install from sources. See the `README` +file in the source tree for instructions. |
