6.2 Wajig Installation

20241205

Wajig is available from the Debian and Ubuntu distributions. To install for either distribution, as root:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install wajig

It can then generally replace apt or apt-get.

Between updates to the distributions, updates are available as a pip package from PyPI. To install onto your system for all users:

sudo pipx install wajig

An individual user can install wajig for themselves:

pip3 install wajig --break-system-packages

The --break-system-pacakges is necessary since Ubuntu 12 and Debian 23.04. For individual users, installing wajig in this way is not known to break any system packages.

You can also download the Debian/Ubuntu deb from togaware and then install that file with:

sudo dpkg -i wajig.deb
