Installing with a release deb package
-
MotionPlus can also be installed from the release deb files. Download the appropriate
deb from the Releases page
and install using
dpkg
or gdebi-core.
Building a deb package
-
A script has also been written to allow users to create their own deb package
from either a tagged release or the most current master branch of the code. Download the
script by using the following
command.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Motion-Project/motion-packaging/master/buildplus.sh
Review the script and specify the following few optional parameters.
Username, EmailAddress, branch, install, arch. If
the parameters are not provided, the script will create defaults.
Once the script has been run and the deb file is created, install it as described above.
