🔧 Installation & Building Guide

Quick Start (5 minutes)

# Terminal: 1. Navigate to project directory
cd /home/w4nn4d13/Downloads/NexTOR_IP_CHANGER

# Terminal: 2. Install build dependencies
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential debhelper dh-python devscripts

# Terminal: 3. Build the Debian package
debuild -us -uc

# Terminal: 4. Verify the build
ls -lh ../nextor_1.1-1_all.deb

# Terminal: 5. Test package quality
lintian -i ../nextor_1.1-1_all.deb

# Terminal: 6. Install the package
sudo dpkg -i ../nextor_1.1-1_all.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

# Terminal: 7. Test the installation
nextor --help
man nextor

Step-by-Step Build Process

Step 1: Environment Setup

# Install all required build tools
sudo apt-get install -y \
    build-essential \
    debhelper \
    dh-python \
    devscripts \
    python3-setuptools \
    python3-all \
    lintian \
    fakeroot

# Verify installation
dh --version
python3 --version
lintian --version

Step 2: Navigate to Project

cd /home/w4nn4d13/Downloads/NexTOR_IP_CHANGER
pwd  # Verify correct directory
ls -la debian/  # Verify debian/ exists

Step 3: Build the Package

# Standard build (unsigned, binary only)
debuild -us -uc

# Or with more verbose output
debuild -v -us -uc

Build Process:

  1. Source cleanup
  2. Dependency resolution
  3. Python build (setuptools)
  4. Debian integration (debhelper)
  5. Package creation
  6. Control file generation

Step 4: Quality Assurance

# Run lintian scanner
lintian -i ../nextor_1.1-1_all.deb

# Expected: Clean or only informational messages
# Any errors must be fixed before submission

Step 5: Installation Testing

# Install the package
sudo dpkg -i ../nextor_1.1-1_all.deb

# Fix any dependency issues
sudo apt-get install -f

# Verify installation
which nextor
dpkg -l | grep nextor

# Test functionality
nextor --help  # or test interactively
man nextor

# Test Python imports
python3 -c "from Nex_Tor_IP_changer import NexTOR; print('✓ OK')"

Step 6: Cleanup (Optional)

# Clean build artifacts
debclean

# Or manual cleanup
rm -f ../nextor_*
rm -rf debian/nextor/ build/ dist/

Troubleshooting Build Issues

Problem: debuild: command not found

Solution: sudo apt-get install devscripts

Problem: Build dependency errors

Solution: sudo apt-get build-dep .

Problem: lintian shows errors

Solution: See DEBIAN_PACKAGING.md for specific linting errors

Problem: Installation dependency failed

Solution: sudo apt-get install -f
