Shell Script
The easiest way to install makedeb is via the official installation script. It can be ran like so:
bash -ci "$(wget -qO - 'https://shlink.makedeb.org/install')"
By default the script runs interactively, and asks the user which release they’d like to install.
If you’d like to run the script in a noninteractive environment, such as in a CI or deployment script, simply omit the -i
argument to bash
, and pass in the MAKEDEB_RELEASE
environment variable, set to a value of makedeb
, makedeb-beta
, or makedeb-alpha
:
# Set the makedeb release you want.
export MAKEDEB_RELEASE='makedeb'
# Run the install script. Note that it's `bash -c` and not `bash -ci` now.
bash -c "$(wget -qO - 'https://shlink.makedeb.org/install')"
