This section explains how to install Apsfilter. The package is called "apsfilter".
You could login and stay in text mode, or you may prefer to use an X terminal window (eg xterm or GNOME terminal). Working in the X Window System makes testing easier.
Login as an ordinary user. The hostname of my PC is "debian". It has an ordinary user called "chris". My login screen looks like this:
Login: chris enter Password: ****** enter |
Start the X Window System.
chris@debian:~$ startx enter |
Open a terminal window such as "xterm". Activate the desktop menu and choose xterm.
xterm |
You need to have root priviledges to install Apsfilter. The "super-user" command, su, enables you to do this, and it is safer than actually logging in as root. The password is the root password.
chris@debian:~$ su enter Password: ****** enter |
apt-get is a simple command line interface for downloading, installing and removing packages. You will need the Debian 2.2 Official Binary CDs. They contain the packages (or .deb files). To install the apsfilter package, type apt-get install apsfilter and tap enter.
debian:/home/chris# apt-get install apsfilter enter |
apt-get will give you a list of package to be installed. If you have not already installed Ghostscript, one of them will be "gs". You will also be asked to insert the appropriate CD-ROM disc(s).
Media Change: Please insert the disc ... in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter enter |
apt-get will unpack some files onto your hard drive. You may be asked to insert another cdrom.
Media Change: Please insert the disc ... in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter enter |
apt-get will then ask you if you wish to configure Apsfilter by running "apsfilterconfig". I recommend not doing this yet, but completing the installation first. The next section deals with configuring Apsfilter.
Do you wish to run apsfilterconfig now? [yes/no] n enter |
Finally, remove any unwanted software.
debian:/home/chris# apt-get clean enter |
Apsfilter is now installed. You are now ready to configure Apsfilter.
