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

Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://download.telldus.com/debian/ stable main

If you want to try the latest beta software, also add the following:

Note! This is not recommended if your are not a developer wanting to help us test new code. It is called unstable for a reason!

deb http://download.telldus.com/debian/ unstable main

sudo apt-key add telldus-public.key

or combine downloading and registering:

wget -q http://download.telldus.se/debian/telldus-public.key -O- | sudo apt-key add -
