= Installing and Running Trac on Debian Sid =
Run {{{apt-get install trac}}}

The rest of the installation process is as described in TracInstall (section "Creating a Project Environment" and forward).


= Installing and Running Trac on Debian Woody =

Debian packages for Trac and a few dependencies don't exist in the Debian Woody distribution. Fortunately the Edgewall ftp-server
has the missing packages. Add the following lines to your '''/etc/apt/sources.list''':

{{{
# Trac, clearsilver, sqlite, pysqlite
deb http://ftp.edgewall.com/pub/debian woody trac
deb-src http://ftp.edgewall.com/pub/debian woody trac
# Subversion, Apache2
deb http://people.debian.org/~adconrad woody subversion
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~adconrad woody subversion
}}}

Run {{{apt-get update}}} after editing the file to update the package cache.

Installing Trac and the required dependencies should now be as simple as:
{{{
apt-get install trac
}}}

It can happen that, by using dselect, the newer libsqlite in the trac repository won't be found. If this is the case, manually install the files named '*sqlite*.deb' from the above mentioned URL.

'''Note:''' When installing trac you might get some harmless warnings when the installation process
byte-compiles some source files.

= Installing and Running Trac on Debian Sid (Unstable) =
Packages for trac are now available in the main archive for sid, so simply:
{{{
apt-get install trac
}}}
and you should be in business.

'''Note:''' Sarge has a separate installation page here: TracOnDebianSarge. You may also be able to run the sid versions of these packages.

'''PowerPC users:''' There are some packages built for the unstable distribution, with dependencies on python2.3 at http://awkly.org/files/debian/

'''Building Packages From Trunk:''' There is now a guide for building packages for Sid from the Subversion trunk:TracOnDebianFromTrunk
