http://www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/~parisse/install_en#packages a écritAdd the line
deb
http://www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/~parisse/debian/ stable main
in the file /etc/apt/sources.list. Then run
sudo apt-get update
Now you can install or upgrade by running
sudo apt-get install giac python-giacpy
(python-giacpy is optionnal, it's for Python programmers support). If you do not want to get warning messages about invalid/unknown key, download the Xcas public GPG key and run the following command in a terminal from the directory where you stored the key
sudo apt-key add xcas_public_key.gpg
This must unfortunately be done until giac/xcas is included in debian, ubuntu, etc. distributions (awaiting this for debian since about 10 years now:-().
If you want to test the latest version, use the following line instead
deb
http://www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/~parisse/debian/ testing main
If it does not work, try to install one or more packages as explained below.
all in one package (i386, 1.1.0) HTTP
all in one package (x64, 1.1.0) HTTP
To install type
sudo dpkg -i *giac*.deb
If dpkg complains about missing packages, check the package names and issue an apt-get command like
sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
If you have an error reporting that libreadline.so.5 is missing, install it (sudo apt-get install readline5) or if readline is already installed (e.g. version 6), type the commands
cd /usr/lib; sudo ln -s libreadline.so.6 libreadline.so.5 ; sudo ldconfig
Carlos Enriqe Carleos Artime made the first giac packages.
