[DEB] Debian package

[rednoah]

FileBot provides its own APT repository so that you can install and upgrade FileBot via sudo apt-get install filebot.


The installer/deb.sh script will add the repository and install FileBot for you:

Shell: Select all

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filebot/plugins/master/installer/deb.sh | sh -xu

Alternatively, you can open Terminal and manually execute each step:


0. Install prerequisites:

Shell: Select all

sudo apt-get install -y curl

1. Add deb repository:

Shell: Select all

sudo curl -o "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/filebot.sources" "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filebot/plugins/master/apt/filebot.sources"

2. Update package index:

Shell: Select all

sudo apt-get update

3. Install FileBot:
NOTE: --install-recommends is required if you mean to install the FileBot Desktop application

Shell: Select all

sudo apt-get install -y --install-recommends filebot

4. Test Run:

Shell: Select all

filebot -script fn:sysinfo

FileBot provides multiple package repositories for different platforms and requirements:

1. Default OpenJDK build for newer Debian platforms (noarch)

   Shell: Select all

   sudo curl -o "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/filebot.sources" "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filebot/plugins/master/apt/filebot.sources"

2. OpenJDK 8 compatibility build for older Debian platforms (noarch)

   Shell: Select all

   sudo curl -o "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/filebot.sources" "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filebot/plugins/master/apt/filebot-jdk8.sources"

3. Embedded OpenJDK build for 64-bit x86 Debian platforms (no dependencies; amd64 only)

   Shell: Select all

   sudo curl -o "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/filebot.sources" "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filebot/plugins/master/apt/filebot-amd64.sources"

Use --install-recommends or --no-install-recommends to explicitly install or skip optional dependencies. If you mean to install the FileBot Desktop application (as opposed to the filebot command-line tool for headless systems) then you must specify --install-recommends or manually install all the necessary dependencies.
