Packages for Debian Hosts
Whonix Packages for Debian Hosts
Introduction
Many of the packages developed under the Whonix umbrella can be thought of as independent projects in their own right. Their relevance applies to Debian hosts where they can increase privacy and security.
This guide will show how you can anonymously download these select packages from the Whonix repository. They can be downloaded stand-alone or combined if you opt for installing the whonix-host meta-package.
How to install in Debian using apt-get
1. Get Whonix's Signing Key.
Download it from the page using Tor Browser.
2. Add the key to apt by importing into trusted.gpg.d.[1]
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ./whonix.gpg --import patrick.asc sudo cp whonix.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/whonix.gpg
4. For default Whonix using Debian stable:
sudo su -c "echo -e 'deb tor://mirror.whonix.de/whonixdevelopermetafiles/internal/ jessie main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/whonix.list"
5. Update your package lists.
sudo apt-get update
6. Install this package. Replace package-name with the actual name of this package.
sudo apt-get install package-name
Supported Packages
