Dinoer

Downloads

Which file to take depending on whether you want to use Dinoer or change it, how to check what you received, and what the apt notice means.

The files are in the bar at the top of every page, in every language. This page helps you choose one and check what you received.

Which file

FileTake it if
.deb packageyou want to use Dinoer: the normal path
.tar.gz sourcesyou want the sources of that exact version
.dscyou rebuild the Debian package yourself
SHA256SUMSyou want to verify any of the above

The package creates the system user and installs the six dinoer-* commands and the manual pages in four languages. During installation it builds an isolated Python environment and downloads its dependencies and the Chromium browser, so it needs network access at that moment.

sudo apt install ./dinoer_1.0.1-1_all.deb

About the apt notice

The command above prints a line that looks like an error and is not one:

N: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '...' couldn't be
   accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

The installation succeeded. apt gives up its sandbox when the unprivileged _apt user cannot read the file, and says so. On current Debian releases, home directories are created with mode 700, so _apt cannot enter yours: a sound default, not a mistake on your side.

There is nothing to fix. To avoid the notice, install from a directory _apt can read:

sudo cp dinoer_1.0.1-1_all.deb /var/tmp/
sudo apt install /var/tmp/dinoer_1.0.1-1_all.deb

Check what you downloaded

Each version publishes the checksums of its files. One command compares them, and it is the only way to know that what you received is what was published.

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS

The current values are also shown on the Download page.

Or clone, if you intend to change Dinoer

git clone https://github.com/RonanDavalan/dinoer.git
cd dinoer
bash scripts/install.sh

The two channels are mutually exclusive on one machine. Take the package unless you are going to modify the code.

Earlier versions

This site serves the current version. The forge keeps every release, with its notes, its checksums and its date; copying that archive here would put the same content at two addresses.

Where it runs

Debian 13 and Ubuntu 24.04. Earlier releases cannot install the package: three of its dependencies carry names that only these releases provide. Linux Mint 22 is based on Ubuntu 24.04 but has not been tested as such.
