Installing SIP SIMPLE Client on Debian 5.0 (Lenny)

AG Projects is providing a pretty nice CLI based Open Source SIP phone to the world. The installation instructions can be a confusing mess.

Here's a short summary on how to install it on a clean, brand new Debian Lenny installation. Details are correct at time of writing ;-)

First import the AG-Projects key into apt so we know the packages can be trusted.

wget http://download.ag-projects.com/agp-debian-gpg.key
apt-key add agp-debian-gpg.key

Then open the file /etc/apt/sources.list and change al mention of "lenny" into "sid". Also add the following to the end of the file:

# AG Projects software
deb     http://ag-projects.com/debian unstable main
deb-src http://ag-projects.com/debian unstable main

Then it's time to upgrade to sid

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

And finally it's time to install SIP Simple ```bash apt-get update apt-get install python-sipsimple sipsimple-cli
