# HTTPie on Debian, Ubuntu, and derived
|
|
|
|
Welcome to the documentation about **packaging HTTPie for Debian GNU/Linux**.
|
|
|
|
- If you do not know HTTPie, have a look [here](https://httpie.io/cli).
|
|
- If you are looking for HTTPie installation or upgrade instructions on Debian GNU/Linux, then you can find them on [that page](https://httpie.io/docs#debian-and-ubuntu).
|
|
- If you are looking for technical information about the HTTPie packaging on Debian GNU/Linux, then you are in a good place.
|
|
|
|
## About
|
|
|
|
This document contains technical details, where we describe how to create a patch for the latest HTTPie version for Debian GNU/Linux. They apply to Ubuntu as well, and any Debian-derived distributions like MX Linux, Linux Mint, deepin, Pop!_OS, KDE neon, Zorin OS, elementary OS, Kubuntu, Devuan, Linux Lite, Peppermint OS, Lubuntu, antiX, Xubuntu, etc.
|
|
We will discuss setting up the environment, installing development tools, installing and testing changes before submitting a patch downstream.
|
|
|
|
We create the standalone binaries (see this [for more details](../../../extras/packaging/linux/)) and package them with
|
|
[FPM](https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm)'s `dir` mode. The core `http`/`https` commands don't have any dependencies, but the `httpie`
|
|
command (due to the underlying `httpie cli plugins` interface) explicitly depends to the system Python (through `python3`/`python3-pip`).
|
|
|
|
## Overall process
|
|
|
|
The [`Release as Standalone Linux Binary`](https://github.com/httpie/httpie/actions/workflows/release-linux-standalone.yml) will be automatically
|
|
triggered when a new release is created, and it will submit the `.deb` package as a release asset.
|
|
|
|
For making that asset available for all debian users, the release manager needs to go to the [`httpie/debian.httpie.io`](https://github.com/httpie/debian.httpie.io) repo
|
|
and trigger the [`Update Index`](https://github.com/httpie/debian.httpie.io/actions/workflows/update-index.yml) action. It will automatically
|
|
scrape all new debian packages from the release assets, properly update the indexes and create a new PR ([an example](https://github.com/httpie/debian.httpie.io/pull/1))
|
|
which then will become active when merged.
