MRPT in GNU/Linux repositories

MRPT is available in the official Ubuntu repositories, but it usually takes months for new versions of a package to reach the official repositories so they may quickly become outdated in quickly evolving packages, as MRPT is at present.

That's why it's preferred to install MRPT from our PPA repositories, which are available for Ubuntu 13.04 (raring), 12.10 (quantal), 12.04 (precise), 11.10 (oneiric),  11.04 (natty), 10.10 (maverick), 10.04 (lucid).

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:joseluisblancoc/mrpt
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libmrpt-dev mrpt-apps  
# ONLY if you want debug -dbg packages
#sudo apt-get install libmrpt-dbg  

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:joseluisblancoc/mrpt-no-sse3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libmrpt-dev mrpt-apps  
# ONLY if you want debug -dbg packages
#sudo apt-get install libmrpt-dbg  

List of GNU/Linux distributions which currently allow installing MRPT directly from their normal software repositories. If your OS is not in the list, download the source code and follow the compiling instructions.

Check out the latest stable version of MRPT and that available on your OS repository, since it may be quite outdated and you would prefer to download and build from sources.

	Supported versions: ''etch'', ''lenny'' and more recent. (i386, amd64, sparc, etc...)  Installation: You must add the software channel ''sid (unstable)'' and update the packages. Then, install the package ''mrpt-apps'' (and ''libmrpt-dev'' if you want to program with MRPT) with ''synaptics'' or from the command line: su -c 'apt-get install mrpt-apps libmrpt-dev' Browse MRPT packages: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=mrpt

Fedora	Supported versions: Fedora Core >=9 Installation: Install the packages ''mrpt-apps'' (and mrpt-devel if you want to program with MRPT) with ''System->Administration->Add/Remove Software'' or from the command line: su -c 'yum install mrpt-apps mrpt-devel' Browse MRPT packages: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/mrpt  Note for versions older than Fedora Core 11: You must enable ''Fedora - Rawhide'' in ''System->Administration->Software Sources'' to see MRPT packages.

Now you are ready to both use MRPT programs and to create new programs using the MRPT libraries (if you installed the development package ''libmrpt-dev'' or ''mrpt-devel''). For further instructions, follow to this tutorial.
