Installation on Ubuntu
You can install from our PPA, our tarball archive, or directly from our Subversion repository. Users new to Ubuntu should use the PPA option.
Adding the PPA
Karmic and later
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rabbitvcs/ppa
Hardy, Intrepid and Jaunty
Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file (signing key=1024R/34EF4A35):
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/rabbitvcs/ppa/ubuntu **DISTRIBUTION** main
Installing RabbitVCS
Update your software package repositories with:
sudo apt-get update
And install it with:
sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs-core rabbitvcs-nautilus rabbitvcs-thunar rabbitvcs-gedit rabbitvcs-cli
From the Tarball
Installing from our distributed tarball is relatively straightforward on Ubuntu. First, make sure you install all dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python-nautilus python-configobj python-gtk2 python-glade2 python-svn python-dbus subversion meld
Then download the tarball and from the top folder type:
sudo python setup.py install
Once that is done working, look in the clients folder and read the README file for each client/plugin to learn how they are installed.
From our Subversion Repository
Installing from trunk or from a branch is relatively straight-forward. First, install the dependencies listed above, then follow our developer installation instructions.
