1.1 Ubuntu

Ubuntu uses the debian package management system (aka apt-get) and offers several different pike packages including version 7.2, 7.4, and 7.6. Ubuntu also divides the different pike modules into different packages but offers a meta-package for each version. This means that when you install the meta-package for the version you wish to use, all the pike modules for that version are installed at that time as well.

To install Pike 7.6 at the command line, type: sudo apt-get install pike7.6

• For the above to work, you must be root or in the sudoer group.
• You may install pike through the graphical installers provided by the Ubuntu distribution.
• The package called 'pike' installs Pike 7.2
