Myosotis - Debian software archive

Debian software archive. What's it ?

Myosotis offers a software archive for Debian packages. With it you can easily install softwares we provide as Debian packages for our 3D platform.

To install these software you have to add our archive to the apt-get system, that manages software installation under Debian (and Ubuntu).

You'll be able to install or update our software through the tools apt-get or synaptic.

Adding the Myosotis APT Repository:

Get our public key for package authentication

For those who know, the key is available here.

You'll need to use sudo to start admin commands on your system.

Open a terminal window. Run the following command to add the key to you system:

wget -q http://kheb.homelinux.org/debian/key.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Add the Myosotis archive to your sources list

For Debian Lenny (testing) or Debian Sid (unstable):

Run the following command to add our archive to your system:

sudo wget http://kheb.homelinux.org/debian/myosotis_debian_archive_source.list \
-O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/myosotis_debian_archive_source.list

Other distributions

We plan to support other distributions soon:

Update your packages list

Ask now your apt-get system to update the list of packages available for installation.

With the comand:

sudo apt-get update

Or with synaptic: click on the Reload button.

Note If an unexpected error triggers when you try to update with apt-get, try this command:

sudo apt-get -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=true update

Install Myosotis packages

Now you can install our software packages.

For example freewrl.

Our packages are listed under synaptic, you have to click on the Origin button, and then choose one of the kheb... archives

FreeWRL 3D plugin

The most important software we offer freely thanks to this software archive for Debian is FreeWRL. This software has two operating modes: It will install via standard tools (apt-get, aptitude or synaptic whatever you prefer), then it'll register with web browsers installed on your machine. You'll then need to restart your web browser. You can download and save this VRML test file or this X3D test file on your computer and open them with FreeWRL. That's done you can browser to the following page to test the plugin operation mode:
