== GUI installation (recommended) == The following is the recommended way of installing Telldus software for Ubuntu. This is not the most stripped down approach but it is the safest and most simplistic. === Adding the Telldus Key === These packages are signed with a unique key for added security. Synaptic needs to know this key in order to verify the packages' authenticity. * Download the following file: http://download.telldus.se/debian/telldus-public.key * From the Desktop, click System -> Administration -> Software Sources. * Click the "Autentication" tab. * Click "Import Key File" and choose the downloaded file and press OK. === Adding the Telldus Repository === Adding the Telldus Repository tells your system where to look for software from Telldus for installation and future updates * From the Desktop, click System -> Administration -> Software Sources. * Click the "Third Party Sofware" tab. * Click "Add". For the Apt line type the following: {{{deb http://download.telldus.com/debian/ stable main}}} * If you want to try the latest beta software, also add the following: {{{deb http://download.telldus.com/debian/ unstable main}}} * Click "Close". === Installing telldus-core === Now that the repository and key have been added, install telldus-core like any other program. * Click System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager * Click "Reload" * Search for "telldus-core" * Mark telldus-core for installation and mark additional changes when prompted. * Click "Apply" and agree to the changes after reading them. * telldus-core is now installed and ready for use. == Console based installation ==
