CSI Web Server for Linux Installation Guide

The package name contains version and revision numbers, and,
therefore, may differ from that shown above.

NOTE

The utility can also be used to delete the package by using the following
command line:

dpkg --remove csiwebserver

2.1.1.4 Alternatives to the dpkg Command Line

Instead of installing from the command line, most Linux distributions now
provide a GUI program that performs the same types of operations. Note that
you will still be required to provide the password for the root account in order
to use this application.

2.1.2 Installing the Admin Utility

The web server admin package for Ubuntu and Debian has dependencies on
wxWidgets version 2.8 which must be installed before installing the admin
utility. The web server must also be installed before the admin utility is
installed. In order to set up wxWidgets, you need to add the software repository
for wxWidgets.

For Debian 7 (Wheezy) and Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric) and later,
the software repository for the required version of wxWidgets
(2.8) is already available in the standard distribution and you can
skip the below steps up to the installation of the WxWidgets
library package.

NOTE

Set up software repositories appropriate for your Linux version. For example,
for Ubuntu Natty Narwhal, the following lines need to appear in
/etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ natty-wx main
deb-src http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ natty-wx main

You also need to install the certificate from http://apt.wxwidgets.org/key.asc as
follows:

curl http://apt.wxwidgets.org/key.asc | sudo apt-key add -

Once these steps are complete, you can install the wxWidgets library package
as follows:

sudo apt-get install wxgtk2.8-0

The above step can take several minutes and may appear to hang
before actually performing the installation.
