Expand

Download Source

The source code is available for development and installation on non-debian Linux distributions. The latest version is always available from CVS as documented here.

The easiest way to obtain the source code is directly from this site. For a basic install, nothing more than the standard compile procedure should be needed. i.e. for uno:

  1. Download package.
  2. untar the package:
    % tar -xzvf uni-0.5.2.tar.gz
  3. Change into the base uno directory (should be README and INSTALL files)
    % cd uno-0.5.2
  4. % ./configure
  5. % make
  6. % sudo make install
Any missing dependencies will be displayed. You must install these to compile the application. Change logs for each release are available on SourceForge through the "previous versions" link.


Download Debian packages

Apt repository

To allow Expand users to easily install and update the base Expand packages, an apt repository is available at http://aui.computing.edu.au/projects/Expand/debian/. To use the Expand apt repository you will need to do the following (lines beginning with % indicate a command to be entered on a terminal):

  • Open the /etc/apt/sources.list file for editing
    % sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
  • Add the following two lines (change "breezy" to your distribution) and save changes:
    deb http://aui.computing.edu.au/projects/Expand/debian/ breezy/
    deb-src http://aui.computing.edu.au/projects/Expand/debian/ source/

  • Update the apt package cache:
    % sudo apt-get update
  • Install required packages:
    % sudo apt-get install uno
This will install the requested package and all packages it depends on.

deb packages

Alternatively, you may download the individual Debian packages below and install using the command:
%sudo dpkg -i uno-0.5.2.tar.gz
Be aware that this method will require manual installation of dependant packages.


Download Install CD

In situations where Expandy is to be installed as a stand-alone operating system, the install CD is the best option. This is based on the Ubuntu Linux distribution and contains all Expandy software, in addition to many useful additions such as a customised desktop.

It is highly recommended to read through the Expandy install CD documentation before attempting to install this software.

The Install CD is hosted by the Computer Science department at Curtin University of Technology.
