Download and Installation

Fri, 01/01/2010 - 21:24 — lloyd

Debian Lenny or Squeeze, and Debian derivatives such as Ubuntu:

Important: If installing on Debian 6 (Squeeze), you will first need to install the gtkdialog package from the previous version of Debian (Lenny).  Here are useful downoad links:

amd64: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/amd64/gtkdialog/download

i386: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/gtkdialog/download

Install the following line into the file /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://files.crnatural.net/ lloyd main

You can also add the repository using a Debian package management program such as synaptic or adept.

Adding the repository to your repository list is the best way to install and update this program, because dependencies will automatically be met, and updates will be easy to install.  After adding the new repository, be sure to refresh your package list (apt-get update). 

Once the repository is added, install snap2 using your favorite package manager (such as synaptic or adept), or at the command line as root: apt-get install snap2

You can also download the latest .deb file directly from the repository at:
http://files.crnatural.net/pool/main/s/snap2  In this case, after downloading you would click on the downloaded .deb to install it, or, as root, execute dpkg -i snap2.deb


Puppy Linux:

Download the latest pet file here: http://files.crnatural.net/

All other Linux distributions:

  1. Make sure you have installed the following packages:
    rsync, grep, sed, openssh-client, and gtkdialog.
  2. Download the latest zip version of the program at http://files.crnatural.net/
  3. As root, unpack the archive to the ROOT of your filesystem, maintaining the directory structure in the zip archive. 
  4. Create 3 menu entries:
    snap2 (command: snap2)
    snap2 snapshot backup (command: snap2shell snapshot)
    snap2 mirror backup  (command: snap2shell mirror)

 For help on running the program see Backing up With snap2
