The packages available here for an AG3 toolkit installation are made on and for the current Debian testing distribution named lenny. Please advise of any problems to the contact email address below.

AG3.2, although officially classified as beta, is the preferred version (the package name is accessgrid3.2). The older AG3.1 package is still available as accessgrid3.1

Firstly, add UQVislab to your list of download repositories by one of the following methods -
1. manually create a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/uqvislab.list with the following entries:

or 2. add those lines to your existing /etc/apt/sources.list file
or 3. add those lines in the Installation Media tab of the Settings->Repositories widget of Synaptic
or 4. run this command in a shell:

To complete the installation using Synaptic, open the Synaptic Package Manager and reload the package information (use the Reload button, or select Reload Package Information from the Edit menu). Now search for and install the accessgrid3.2 package (it will be found in the AccessGrid section). A number of prerequisite packages should also be automatically installed.

Alternatively, the installation may be completed from the command line, with apt-get, by running the commands:
(Please note the -H option for the sudo command)

Everything should be set to go now - log out, then log in again to find "Access Grid 3" entry in the main menu (assuming Gnome desktop).

The AG3 packages for Debian lenny are available from the download directory

No known issues - everything works here. Please advise of any problems.
