====== Installing the pre-built packages ======


add 
  deb http://[debian|ubuntu].citadel.org/[debian|ubuntu]/[sid|sarge|sarge_bdb44|etch|lenny |breezy|gutsy|feisty|hardy] main 

to your "/etc/apt/sources.list" (choose the right value from the square bracket)  so on a Debian Etch it would look like this:
  deb http://debian.citadel.org/debian/ etch main 

and then do 

  apt-get update
  apt-get install citadel-suite

in order to get all Citadel components installed at once and your MTA replaced by Citadel. **Be sure to have a look at the [[installation:getting_started|Getting Started]] and some of its articles.**

If you want a more fine-grained solution, or want to know which packages Citadel installs on your system, read on...


====== Packages available here and their content ====== 

At the moment we have i386 and amd64 packages available here.

^ Package name ^ Content ^
| citadel-suite  | Empty meta-package bringing all the packages below |
| citadel-common | Files common for all parts of the Citadel-System|
| citadel-server | The citadel server package. This will become the heart of your system. |
| citadel-webcit | This will install the web interface to citadel. You can install that on a different machine. But be sure to check the FAQ! |
| citadel-mta | This replaces the system MTA package and provides Sendmail (/usr/sbin/sendmail) |
| citadel-doc | Information about citadel... |
| citadel-client | The citadel command line client. If you prefer a bbs-like text interface, use this. |
| [[http://freeassociation.sourceforge.net|libical0[-dev]]] | The icalendar library needed by citadel |
| [[http://libsieve.sourceforge.net/|libsieve2[-dev]]] | Backport of the Debian libsieve package |
| libdb4.4[*] | Backport of the Berkeley DB 4.4 packages to Sarge |



====== To build from source ====== 

add this line to your "/etc/apt/sources.list":
  deb-src http://debian.citadel.org/source stable source "
  
then do:
  apt-get update
  apt-get source libical0
  cd libical0-0.26.6
  fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage
 
if it complains about missing build dependencies, install them via "apt-get install", and repeat the above step. Then do:
  cd ..
  dpkg -i libical0*.deb
  apt-get source citadel-server
  cd citadel-<tab> "(to make it expand the version number)" 
  fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage
  cd ..
  apt-get source webcit
  cd webcit-<tab>
  fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage"
 
Then install the "citadel-*" packages you need. You might not want to install the "-mta" package, if you want to stay with another mail transport agent.
