v3.5.13.2

There is no support for this TDE version in Devuan.

Configure the package manager

Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file.

NOTE 1: make sure to replace <your-distribution-release-name> with your actual distribution name (for example 'beowulf')

NOTE 2: deb-src lines following are optional.

TDE R14.0.x series

deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.0.x               <your-distribution-release-name>  main
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.x     <your-distribution-release-name>  main
deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.0.x           <your-distribution-release-name>  main
deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.x <your-distribution-release-name>  main

Import GPG signing key

The best way to install GPG key is to manually download and install package trinity-keyring. The advantage is that this method of installation is not dependent on the availability of the key server. Another advantage is that the key is not integrated into the global apt keyring, but is installed as a separate file:

wget http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-keyring.deb
sudo dpkg -i trinity-keyring.deb

Install Trinity

If you are doing a fresh TDE installation, please follow the steps listed below.
If you are upgrading from an existing R14.0.x version, please follow the instruction under the upgrading section.

Fresh R14.0.x installation

The following steps are suggested for installing the latest R14.0.x version.

NOTE: tde-trinity package is a comprehensive meta-package. To install a minimalist environment, replace tde-trinity with tdebase-trinity in the instructions below.

TDE R14.0.x series

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tde-trinity

NOTE: After installing the environment, it is also a good idea to install the localization packages so that you can switch the environment to your native language. For example for Czech:

sudo apt-get install tde-i18n-cs-trinity
