This page has instructions on:

System Requirements

Hardware support for Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS). DVFS is available on most modern Intel and AMD processors, but may require being enabled in your computer's BIOS (read this page for information on known models). If DVFS is not available, or turned off, Granola will let you know when it attempts to start up for the first time.

Using the install script to configure the repository

All MiserWare software downloads and updates are made available via an online software repository. This is the same standard mechanism for providing security updates and new packages used by all modern Linux distributions. In order to use the MiserWare software repository your package manager must first be configured to use it.

The easiest way to configure the MiserWare repository is to download and run the install script, which you can get here. The command to run it is: 

$ sudo bash ./installer.bash

The install script downloads and installs an rpm or deb containing a repository configuration suitable for your distribution. You can then use your distribution's package manager (such as apt-get or yum) to install MiserWare products.

Once the repository is configured, see our installation instructions.

Manually downloading and configuring the repository

If you would rather not run the install script we provide rpm and deb packages which will still perform the repository configuration for you. The instructions are different for rpm and deb based distributions. Please select your distribution below.

Debian Debian 6
Fedora Fedora 15 | Fedora 16
Ubuntu Ubuntu 10.04 | Ubuntu 11.04 | Ubuntu 11.10 | Ubuntu 12.04
