Add the following lines to `/etc/apt/sources.list`:

[note: Replace binary-i386 with binary-amd64 for 64bit environments.]

* For Debian stable __( etch )__:

deb http://www.midgard-project.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386 ./
# deb-src http://www.midgard-project.org/debian/dists/stable/source/ ./

* For Debian testing __( lenny )__:

deb http://www.midgard-project.org/debian/dists/testing/main/binary-i386 ./
# deb-src http://www.midgard-project.org/debian/dists/testing/source/ ./

* For Debian unstable __( sid )__:

deb http://www.midgard-project.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386 ./
# deb-src http://www.midgard-project.org/debian/dists/unstable/source/ ./


Run `apt-get update` for updating the apt database (this adds our repository into your apt).

If you're installing for Apache HTTP Server 1.3.X series, install Midgard with the command:

apt-get install midgard-data php4-midgard.

If you're installing for Apache HTTP Server 2.X series, install Midgard with the command:

apt-get install midgard-data libapache2-mod-midgard

Unfortunatelly there is no empty "midgard" package, as we need to provide support for both Apache HTTP Server series.

Run `datagard` for setting up a new Midgard database and virtual host. Read the instructions from [Setting Up a Midgard Database].

## Debian sarge

* For old stable debian:

deb http://www.midgard-project.org/debian/dists/sarge/main/binary-i386 ./

Midgard packages for debian sarge include php5-midgard package. This package is built against php5 packages available from . If you want to you PHP5 and php5-midgard on sarge, add dotdeb repository to your sources.list and install php5 and php5-midgard.

For Debian Sarge, you currently have to edit the `/etc/apache2/apache2.conf` and add:

Include /etc/midgard/apache/httpd.conf

Also you must comment out the `Listen 80` entry in `/etc/apache2/ports.conf`.

[note: If you are running other vhosts on the box, you might have to do more.]

If, after following all the instructions regarding the installation with Debian packages, you end up with a broken homepage, try this:

* Try the /aegir/ url (as a suffix to your virtual host URL)
* Check inside the midgard database if you have a host (in the host table) without a prefix (you should, otherwise do the following)
* Restart de datagard application and select Update - Upgrade ...
* If debconf crashes with a geometry error (something about coordinates in the graphical size), resize the window and try again
* Retry using the /aegir/ suffix and use the default admin password "password"
