## Dependencies ##
Monkeysphere relies on:
If you are running Debian stable, you can get the monkeysphere package
from [backports.org](http://backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instructions)
+To get started using the Monkeysphere for website validation, you will
+need to install the Monkeysphere Validation Agent. Currently the perl
+version of the agent is available in Debian sid, or directly from our
+APT repository (see below):
+
+ aptitude install msva-perl
+
## Debian derivatives (including Ubuntu) ##
You can also install the Monkeysphere directly from the Monkeysphere
verify the packages, you'll want to [add this key to your apt
configuration after verifying its integrity](/archive-key).

+Note: Ubuntu shipped Monkeysphere 0.22 in their "Jaunty Jackalope"
+release (9.04). The Monkeysphere developers think that [Ubuntu
+shipping Monkeysphere 0.22-1 is a bad
idea](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/monkeysphere/+bug/345054).
If you are an Ubuntu user, we would prefer that you install from the
APT archive above rather than run 0.22, which we no longer consider
supported.
+Ubuntu users running "Karmic Koala" (9.10) or later should see version
+0.26-1 or later in the standard Ubuntu universe repository, so please
+use the regular Ubuntu repositories if you're running Karmic or later.

## FreeBSD ##
There is [a FreeBSD port
