Building DEB package from scratch

First, install all required software:

sudo apt-get install -y git dpkg-dev pbuilder

Second stage. Create a base tarball with Debian Wheezy build environment:

sudo pbuilder --create --distribution wheezy

And now we are ready to clone and build a DEB package:

git clone https://github.com/tuxofil/pote.git pote
dpkg-source -b pote
sudo pbuilder --build pote_*.dsc

Built DEB package you can find in /var/cache/pbuilder/result/ directory.

Install DEB package to target system

You can add pote package to one of your APT repositories (if you have) and then install it with simple:

sudo apt-get install pote

If this is not the case, install the package manually:

sudo dpkg -i /path/to/pote_*.deb
sudo apt-get install -y -f

Second line is required to satisfy all software dependencies of the package.

Usage

After the package was successfully installed and all software dependencies were satisfied, just point your web browser to the host where Pote is installed:

http://$hostname/pote/
