Closes #1018
People keep asking how to install gitui on Debian/Ubuntu and posting install scripts in that issue, so this adds a short "Debian / Ubuntu" entry to the install instructions in the README, next to the other Linux distros.
It changes the following:
cargo install gitui --lockedwithbuild-essentialplus rustupNo install script, just three plain commands that use the
releases/latest/download/<asset>URL, so the snippet doesn't need updating on every release.What I checked:
gituipackage anywhere. The ITP from 2023 is still open.gitui-linux-x86_64.tar.gzisstatic-pie linked(musl).gitui-linux-aarch64.tar.gzandgitui-linux-armv7.tar.gzare dynamically linked against glibc, and the newest symbol version they need isGLIBC_2.28, so Debian 10 and Ubuntu 20.04 or later. armv7 is the one that matches Debian/Ubuntu armhf;gitui-linux-armtargets ARMv6.vendor-opensslfeature builds OpenSSL, libgit2 and libssh2 from source withcc, so the build needs a C compiler, make and perl (all pulled in bybuild-essential). cmake isn't needed. The distrorustcis older than the 1.88 MSRV (Debian 13 ships 1.85, Ubuntu 24.04 ships 1.75), which is why the README points to rustup.I left out the snap (
gituion the Snap Store) because it's published by a third party and not verified, but I can add it if you'd like it listed.I followed the checklist:
