<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and out of date.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, 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.
