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
     

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
