Installation instructions for Debian 11? #29

Hi there,

I just found this project, saw the .deb files and gave it a try:

dpkg -i httm_0.10.10_amd64.deb

Does this mean it will only work on Ubuntu and not Debian 11?

Glad you're giving it a shot and appreciate you filing an issue!

I'm afraid Debian likes to stick with older versions of glibc than Ubuntu. Your error only means my tagged package will only work with a glibc greater than or equal to 2.34.

So, what are your options? Instructions on how to build your own Debian package can be found here. You may instead wish to build from source.

Debian 11 probably supports building using that system's glibc (perhaps try apt install cargo first?), but if it does not (for instance, Debian 10 doesn't) you can use musl to build using the instructions found here.

Good luck!

Oh, I see, I had only read the first part and then went straight to the tagged release :-( my bad.

For Debian-based and Redhat-based Linux distributions (like, Ubuntu or Fedora, etc.), check the [tagged releases](https://github.com/kimono-koans/httm/tags) for native packages for your distribution.

Sorry about that. I'll give it a try with your instructions.
