Koha 3.18 on Debian 8 Jessie
I have been testing out the installation of Koha 3.18.06.000 on Debian 8 (Jessie). Minimal Server. I downloaded Debian Jessie from https://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/ (Official CD/DVD images of the stable release) Everything went smoothly without any hitch except the following; Cannot write to `-' (Broken pipe) error message When adding the APT trusted keys: wget -O- http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc | sudo apt-key add - Solution: I replaced the pipe "|" with ">>" the key was added and thereafter I went ahead and installed Koha using the instructions at: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian I am sharing this because I though this could help someone. There could be a better and "technical" way of achieving the same. Any comment from the Koha Gurus Sitali CS -- Charles Lwanga College of Education, P. O. Box 660193, Monze, ZAMBIA.

This might be peculiar to your system: robin@debianjessie:~$ wget -O- http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc | sudo apt-key add - [sudo] password for robin: --2015-05-05 10:33:58-- http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc Resolving debian.koha-community.org (debian.koha-community.org)... 67.220.127.145 Connecting to debian.koha-community.org (debian.koha-community.org)|67.220.127.145|:80... connected.

I might amend the instructions to stop the wget output. robin@debianjessie:~$ wget -q -O- http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc | sudo apt-key add - [sudo] password for robin: OK that is indeed a bit nicer.
Solution: I replaced the pipe "|" with ">>"
That isn't really a solution, it just writes the key to a file called 'sudo' which is in no way what you want.

You will have a problem trying to do a zebra reindex. It's easy enough to work around: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Troubleshooting_Zebra#No_such_record_typ... but finding and implementing a clean solution is high on my radar, see http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14106 for detail on this. If you find any other issues, please make a bug for them. If you put it in the 'packaging' category, I'll see it and triage it to where it needs to go (I should think most issues you're likely to encounter will be packaging or integration related, and so probably my job to take care of :) Also, there are (I think) better instructions here: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Talk:Koha_on_Debian#Debian_Packages_on_K... some time soon, I'm going to replace the current ones with these. In fact, I might just do that now... -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF
Greetings, Before following any of the steps, I usually type 'sudo ls'. Why? So that the password prompting doesn't get confusing on the wget command mess. $ sudo ls ... $ wget -O- http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc | sudo apt-key add - ... Much smoother. GPML, Mark Tompsett
