Debian users have many options for installing RabbitVCS. Users running 'Unstable' can now install directly from their repository. You can also install our tarball archive, our PPA, or directly from our Subversion repository.

Note: Users of Debian Lenny (5.0) and earlier will not be able to run our standard Nautilus plugin, as the available version of Nautilus is not compatible. However, you can still run our old Nautilus plugin (similar to NautilusSvn v0.11)

sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs-core rabbitvcs-nautilus rabbitvcs-thunar rabbitvcs-gedit rabbitvcs-cli

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

Then:

sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs-core rabbitvcs-nautilus rabbitvcs-thunar rabbitvcs-gedit rabbitvcs-cli

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 python-dulwich 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.

Installing from trunk or from a branch is relatively straight-forward. First, install the dependencies listed above, then follow our developer installation instructions.
