General information for University Debian/Ubuntu Linux users

For Debian or Ubuntu systems (recommended by IT Services UNIX Group), you can obtain Stanford specific packages from the Stanford Debian repository. Add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

    deb http://exodus.stanford.edu/debian-stanford stable main

and the following to /etc/apt/preferences:

    Package: *
    Pin: release o=Stanford
    Pin-Priority: 200

Then, after executing an aptitude update you should be able to install Stanford provided packages (such as wallet-client, etc).

This repository is not yet signed, so you may need to accept warnings about installing unsigned packages. We're working on upgrading to newer archive software.
