Debian packages of the stable releases of Tablix are available from an unofficial Debian repository. To use this repository with apt-get add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb http://www.kiberpipa.org/~tomaz/tablix/stable ./
Then you can install the latest Tablix release by running the following commands as root:
# apt-get update # apt-get install tablix2
Note: Please note that Tablix packages may soon be included in the official Debian package repositories so it may no longer be necessary to change your sources.list file.
Note: If you are running an older Debian distribution or a current distribution on an architecture other than i386 you may have to compile your own Debian package. Packages available on the internet will only install on the latest Debian GNU/Linux distribution on i386 architecture. See the following section for more details..
