Here is how to install the latest pine build.
OS: Ubuntu 7.04
I used Pine before and it’s one of my favorite mail programs. I could not install it from the repository using aptitude so I download the debian package and installed it.
The lastest stable build is 4.64.
You can use command line or firefox to install it:
Command Line:
$ w3m ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/pine_4.64_i386.deb
Once downloaded w3m will ask if you want to install the program, enter ‘I’ to install it:
Do you wish to:
- I)nstall the package now,
- S)ave it to a file, or
- Q)uit now
Your choice (I/S/Q)? I
Installation of Debian packages needs to be done as root.
Enter command used to become root (default=sudo): sudo
Installing package…
Selecting previously deselected package pine.
(Reading database … 143846 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking pine (from …/tarek/.w3m/w3mtmp31867-0.deb) …
Setting up pine (4.64) …
Done. Press to continue:
Firefox:
Go to http://www.washington.edu/pine/getpine/linux.html and click on pine_4.64_i386.deb package
Save it on your desktop, once downloaded double click and install the package.
Done! :)
Your feedback is welcome!
