APT configuration

You must use apt, apt-get or aptitude to install the packages (with sudo or as "root" user).
The following examples use sudo and apt-get.

Install https transport for apt:

$ sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https

Create a weechat.list file with the repository, according to your distribution/version: Choose your distribution/version Debian “sid” (unstable) Debian “buster” (testing) Debian “stretch” (stable) Debian “jessie” (oldstable) Ubuntu “eoan” (19.10) Ubuntu “disco” (19.04) Ubuntu “cosmic” (18.10) Ubuntu “bionic” (18.04) Ubuntu “xenial” (16.04) Raspbian “stretch” (stable)

Note: the second command line is optional, it is used to download source packages.

Resynchronize your package index files:

$ sudo apt-get update

Packages installation

Install the binary packages; the "plugins" package is highly recommended but not mandatory, scripting API packages are optional (popular languages are python and perl).

• Example for the stable version:

  $ sudo apt-get install weechat-curses weechat-plugins weechat-python weechat-perl

• Example for the development version:

  $ sudo apt-get install weechat-devel-curses weechat-devel-plugins weechat-devel-python weechat-devel-perl

If needed, you can download the source package in order to rebuild binary packages:

$ apt-get source weechat-devel
