Debian instructions need update

[David-dp-]

I'll list a few related issues...

1. The installation instructions https://github.com/coturn/coturn/blob/master/INSTALL advise downloading package from http://packages.qa.debian.org/r/coturn.html and that page in turn references https://packages.debian.org/source/stable/coturn The packages available there begin with "coturn", not "turnserver"; for example: http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/coturn/coturn_4.5.0.5.orig.tar.gz

2. Once the tar.gz is downloaded to a Debian8 machine, and one follows the INSTALL after unpacking, it says to do: sudo gdebi coturn*.deb But this file isn't present after unpacking. This problem was previously reported here in debian package is missing in downloads since v4.4.5.3 #25 but it was closed without fixing the documentation problem.

3. The accepted solution in issue 25 was to download a package from https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/coturn/download for example, http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/coturn/coturn_4.5.0.8-1_amd64.deb However, re-running: sudo gdebi coturn*.deb fails: Dependency is not satisfiable: libevent-core-2.1-6 (>= 2.1.8-stable)

4. If one tries to follow https://github.com/coturn/coturn/blob/master/INSTALL about building the unpacked tar.gz the first step fails: ./configure
   ginstall: not found
   install is /usr/bin/install
   pkill is /usr/bin/pkill
   sqlite3: not found
   sqlite: not found
   Use TMP dir /var/tmp
   Compiler: unknown
   ERROR: cannot use compiler unknown properly

My only thought of a work-around is to try Ubuntu instead of Debian.

Use the official debian package ...
Just
apt install coturn

Or rebuild form debian source package

Thank you for your quick reply. It worked for me, and I've made a pull request for a slight change to the install directions.
