    <br />
    
    <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    and out of date.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
    Vidalia. First, you need to figure out the name of your distribution. If
    you're using Ubuntu 9.10 or 10.04, it's  "karmic", while 9.04 is "jaunty",
    8.10 is "intrepid", and 8.04 is "hardy". If you're using Debian
    Etch, it's "etch", and Debian Lenny is "lenny". 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 
    </pre>
    </p>
    
    <p>
    Now Vidalia is installed and running. Move on to <a href="<page
    docs/tor-doc-unix>#polipo">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>.

    <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>#polipo">step two</a> of the "Vidalia on Linux/Unix"
    instructions.
