1.1 Installing Debian/Ubuntu Packages

Binary packages are available for current Debian/Ubuntu based Linux distributions. These can be installed through the use of standard system package management utilities, such as Apt, if administrative access is available.

  1. Add the appropriate line for the Debian-based distribution to the end of the file /etc/apt/sources.list

    Distribution Repository
    Debian 12.0 (bookworm) deb http://www.nektar.info/debian-bookworm bookworm contrib
    Debian 11.0 (bullseye) deb http://www.nektar.info/debian-bullseye bullseye contrib
    Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat) deb http://www.nektar.info/ubuntu-noble noble contrib
    Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) deb http://www.nektar.info/ubuntu-jammy jammy contrib
    Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa) deb http://www.nektar.info/ubuntu-focal focal contrib
  2. Update the package lists

    apt-get update
  3. Install the required Nektar++ packages, or the complete suite with:

    apt-get install nektar++

    Any additional dependencies required for Nektar++ to function will be automatically installed.

    Tip: Nektar++ is split into multiple packages for the different components of the software. A list of available Nektar++ packages can be found using:

    apt-cache search nektar++
