<p>
<b>Do not use the packages in Ubuntu's universe.</b> They are unmaintained
and out of date. That means you'll be missing stability and security
fixes.
</p>

<p>
You'll need to set up our package repository before you can fetch
Tor. First, you need to figure out the name of your distribution. Here's
a quick mapping:
<ul>
<li> Ubuntu 11.04 is "natty"</li>
<li> Ubuntu 10.10 or Trisquel 4.5 is "maverick"</li> 
<li> Ubuntu 10.04 or Trisquel 4.0 is "lucid"</li>
<li> Ubuntu 9.10 or Trisquel 3.5 is  "karmic"</li>
<li> Ubuntu 9.04 is "jaunty"</li>
<li> Ubuntu 8.10 is "intrepid"</li>
<li> Ubuntu 8.04 is "hardy"</li> 
<li> Debian Etch is "etch"</li>
<li> Debian Lenny is "lenny"</li>
</ul>

Then add this line to your
<tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt>
file:<br />
<pre>
deb     http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org &lt;DISTRIBUTION&gt; main
</pre>
where you substitute the above word (etch, lenny, sid, karmic, jaunty,
intrepid, hardy) in place of &lt;DISTRIBUTION&gt;.
</p>

<p>
Then add the gpg key used to sign the packages by running the following
commands at your command prompt:
<pre>
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv 886DDD89
gpg --export A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89 | sudo apt-key add -
</pre>
Now refresh your sources and install Vidalia by running the following
commands at your command prompt:
<pre>
apt-get update
apt-get install vidalia deb.torproject.org-keyring
</pre>
</p>

<p>
Now Vidalia is installed and running. Move on to <a href="<page
docs/tor-doc-unix>#using">step two</a> of the "Vidalia on Linux/Unix"
instructions.
</p>

<p style="font-size: small">
The DNS name <code>deb.torproject.org</code> is actually a set of independent
servers in a DNS round robin configuration.  If you for some reason cannot
access it you might try to use the name of one of its part instead.  Try
<code>deb-master.torproject.org</code>,
<code>mirror.netcologne.de</code> or
<code>vidalia.mirror.youam.de</code>.
</p>

<h2><a class="anchor" href="#source">Building from source</a></h2>
<br />

<p>
If you want to build your own debs from source you must first add an
appropriate <tt>deb-src</tt> line to <tt>sources.list</tt>.
<pre>
deb-src http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org &lt;DISTRIBUTION&gt; main
</pre>
You also need to install the necessary packages to build your own debs and the
packages needed to build Vidalia:
<pre>
apt-get install build-essential fakeroot devscripts qt4-dev-tools qt4-designer libqt4-dev g++ cmake
apt-get build-dep vidalia
</pre>
Then you can build Vidalia in ~/debian-packages:
<pre>
mkdir ~/debian-packages; cd ~/debian-packages
apt-get source vidalia
cd vidalia-*
debuild -rfakeroot -uc -us
cd ..
</pre>
Now you can install the new package:
<pre>
sudo dpkg -i vidalia_*.deb
</pre>
</p>

<p>
Now Vidalia is installed and running. Move on to <a href="<page
docs/tor-doc-unix>#using">step two</a> of the "Vidalia on Linux/Unix"
instructions.
