 * [GnuTLS](http://gnutls.org/)
  * version 2.4 or later for general use
  * [version 2.6 or later](/news/gnutls-2.6-enables-monkeysphere) to use the `monkeysphere subkey-to-ssh-agent` subcommand.
 * [OpenSSH](http://openssh.com/)
 * [GnuPG](http://gnupg.org/)

## Debian ##

If you are running a [Debian](http://www.debian.org/) system, you can
install Monkeysphere by following these directions:

You can add this repo to your system by putting the following lines in
`/etc/apt/sources.list.d/monkeysphere.list`:

	deb http://archive.monkeysphere.info/debian experimental monkeysphere

The repository is currently signed by [The Monkeysphere archive
signing key](/archive-key), key id EB8AF314 (fingerprint: `2E8D D26C
53F1 197D DF40 3E61 18E6 67F1 EB8A F314`).  To cryptographically
verify the packages, you'll want to [add this key to your apt
configuration after verifying its integrity](/archive-key).

To use the `monkeysphere subkey-to-ssh-agent` subcommand, you will
also need [version 2.6 of
GnuTLS](/news/gnutls-2.6-enables-monkeysphere), which is available in
Debian experimental.

## FreeBSD ##

There is [now a FreeBSD port available](/news/FreeBSD-port-available)
for the Monkeysphere.

While the monkeysphere is not officially included in the ports tree
yet, [a problem
report](http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/128406) has
been submitted, and the package itself is functional.

The latest version of the ports directory can be found in [the git
repository](/community) under
`packaging/freebsd/security/monkeysphere`.  Please [let us
know](/community) if you encounter any problems with it on a FreeBSD
system.

Until the port is accepted, you should be able to build the latest
port with:

    git clone git://git.monkeysphere.info/monkeysphere
    cp -a monkeysphere/packaging/freebsd/security/monkeysphere /usr/ports/security
    cd /usr/ports/security/monkeysphere
    make && make install

To use the `monkeysphere subkey-to-ssh-agent` subcommand, you will
also need [version 2.6 of
GnuTLS](/news/gnutls-2.6-enables-monkeysphere), which is [slated to be
available after the 7.1 ports slush is
over](http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/127330).

For those that would like to download the source directly, [the source
is available](/community) via [git](http://git.or.cz/).
