Installation

Distribution packages

debootstick is part of Debian, since july, 2015. It is therefore available from Debian Stretch and in recent Ubuntu distributions (since 15.10, within the 'universe' component).

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install debootstick

Installation from PPA (Ubuntu)

A PPA is available if you are using a recent Ubuntu. Packages there are sometimes more up-to-date (and sometimes more experimental) than the package of the distribution.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:debootstick/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install debootstick

Installation from source

If you want to install debootstick in older systems or get the latest improvements, you can clone this repository. Then, for a regular install, type make install as root; or, from version 2.8, you can also run ./debootstick from the source directory directly.
