Installation packages

For users of Debian GNU/Linux or Ubuntu Linux, an architecture-independent Debian package is available for installation. This package can either be installed using aptitude or manually using dpkg.

Installation using aptitude

To install INetSim using aptitude, first add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://www.inetsim.org/debian/ binary/

To enable aptitude to verify the digital signature on the INetSim Debian archive's Release file, you need to add the INetSim.org Archive Signing Key to your apt keyring. To add the key, perform one of the following steps:

1. Download the INetSim Archive Keyring Debian package and install it using dpkg:
   dpkg -i inetsim-archive-keyring_2008.10.12_all.deb

   or

2. Download the key using wget and feed it into apt-key:
   wget -O - http://www.inetsim.org/inetsim.org-archive-signing-key.asc | apt-key add -

After installing the key, update the cache of available packages:

aptitude update

Then you can install INetSim by running:

aptitude install inetsim

Manual installation using dpkg

To install INetSim manually using dpkg, you first need to install all required packages.

Then, download the current INetSim Debian package and install it by running:

dpkg -i inetsim_1.2.1-1_all.deb

For SSL/TLS support, installation of the package openssl is required. If you want to use the packet redirection feature of INetSim, be sure to also install the packages iptables and libiptables-ipv4-ipqueue-perl.
