  • Debian/oldstable (etch) zeroinstall-injector_0.38-1_all.deb (Debian package; python-central)
    Debian/stable (lenny) Zero Install is part of the main Debian archive, so you can get it with:
    # apt-get install zeroinstall-injector

    Anders F Björklund has made a repository with backports of later versions to Debian/stable. Add this to sources.list to use it:

    deb http://afb.users.sourceforge.net/zero-install/debian lenny main
  • Ubuntu (feisty/gutsy/hardy/intrepid/jaunty/karmic/lucid) Zero Install is in all recent versions of Ubuntu, so you can just do:
    $ sudo apt-get install zeroinstall-injector

    You can also install your distribution's version by clicking here. If you want a newer version, the Debian/unstable package should also work on Ubuntu.

  • Knoppix 5 works using the Debian package; use apt-get update; apt-get install -f to fetch the dependencies
  • Nokia 770 zeroinstall-injector_0.19_arm.deb download page (Nokia 770 Debian package contributed by Niklas Höglund; Python 2.4)

If an injector package for your distribution is listed above, install that and then try using it! Otherwise, get the source package instead!
