Installing via Debian Package

Shane Alcock edited this page May 6, 2021 · 6 revisions

We now do our own packaging of libwandio for Debian and Ubuntu. Packages are built and uploaded to our repository automatically as part of the release process. This means that you can be sure that you are always running the latest libwandio code (assuming your system is running a "supported" Debian or Ubuntu release).

We will always aim to provide libwandio packages for both current Debian and Ubuntu releases, as well as any LTS releases that have not yet reached EOL.

How to install the libwandio packages

Simply run the following commands to add the WAND repository to your sources list and install the libwandio packages:

sudo apt-get install -y curl apt-transport-https ssl-cert ca-certificates gnupg lsb-release

curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/wand/libwandio/cfg/setup/bash.deb.sh' | sudo -E bash

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install libwandio1-dev wandio1-tools

Notes

For Debian Jessie, we had to backport a more recent version of the liblz4 packages than what is available in the official Debian repos. This upgraded package will be automatically installed from our repository along with the libwandio packages. In theory, the newer version of the package should be backwards compatible and not cause any problems with software that relied on the standard version, but we cannot offer any guarantees. If in doubt, Jessie users may prefer to compile and install libwandio from source instead.
