It has been tested on Debian Jessie and Wheezy, +but should work, possibly with minor changes, if you have other +dpkg-based systems such as Ubuntu or Mint. + +To build Netdata for a Debian Jessie system, the debian directory +has to be available in the root of the Netdata source. The easiest +way to do this is with a symlink: + +```sh +ln -s contrib/debian +``` + +Edit the `debian/changelog` file to reflect the package version and +the build time: + +```sh +netdata (1.21.0) unstable; urgency=medium + + * Initial Release + + -- Netdata Builder <bot@netdata.cloud> Tue, 12 May 2020 10:36:52 +0200 +``` + +Then build the debian package: + +```sh +dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot +``` + +This should give a package that can be installed in the parent +directory, which you can install manually with dpkg. + +```sh +ls -1 ../*.deb +../netdata_1.21.0_amd64.deb +../netdata-dbgsym_1.21.0_amd64.deb +../netdata-plugin-cups_1.21.0_amd64.deb +../netdata-plugin-cups-dbgsym_1.21.0_amd64.deb +../netdata-plugin-freeipmi_1.21.0_amd64.deb +../netdata-plugin-freeipmi-dbgsym_1.21.0_amd64.deb +sudo dpkg -i ../netdata_1.21.0_amd64.deb +``` + +### Reinstalling Netdata + +The recommended way to upgrade Netdata packages built from this +source is to remove the current package from your system, then +install the new package. Upgrading on wheezy is known to not +work cleanly; Jessie may behave as expected. + + |
