# Downloading and Installing #

Once you've installed the packages, please see the [documentation
page](/doc) to read up on how to get started [as a regular
user](/getting-started-user) or [as a systems
administrator](/getting-started-admin).

## Dependencies ##

Monkeysphere relies on:

 * [OpenSSH](http://openssh.com/)
 * [GnuPG](http://gnupg.org/)
 * [Perl](http://www.perl.org/) (including the [Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA](http://search.cpan.org/dist/Crypt-OpenSSL-RSA/) and [Digest::SHA1](http://search.cpan.org/dist/Digest-SHA1/) modules and their dependencies)

## Debian ##

If you are running a [Debian](http://www.debian.org/) system, the
[monkeysphere is now available in the Debian unstable ("sid")
distribution](http://packages.debian.org/sid/monkeysphere).

You can also install the Monkeysphere directly from the Monkeysphere
Debian archive.  You can add this archive to your system by putting
the following lines in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/monkeysphere.list`:

	deb http://archive.monkeysphere.info/debian experimental monkeysphere
	deb-src 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).

## 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

## Source ##

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