Packages for these distributions are placed at downloads.e-cell.org.

Note that the repositories contain several packages of other projects (e.g. libSBML) for convenience. See "Notes for third-party package distribution" for detail

You can browse the available packages through the very simple indexer from http://downloads.e-cell.org/ .

Debian / Ubuntu (apt and dpkg based)

Append any one of the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list.

  • Debian: Etch

    deb http://downloads.e-cell.org/apt/etch/ etch contrib
