Installing IPblocker/Peerblock/PeerGuardian on Debian(Jessie)
 

So I'm new to linux(wanted to get away from vista) I've gone to souceforge to install peerguardian but when I try to install the repository it tells me they are expired or no longer available. I tried to install ipblock but when I got to copying over the default setting files it came up with cp: cannot create regular file ‘/etc/ipblock.lists’: Permission denied. I even tried puting sudo in front of the command to no avail. I even checked my built in downloads folder to see if like ubutu that it has a ipblock list and it doesn't it just has firewall install so I'm kinda stuck at what to do or where to go to install an Ipblocker. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, if possible please layout in a step by step how to install one if not some ipblock list

Install PeerGuardian Linux from the following PPA: ppa:jre-phoenix/ppa (once the PPA is set up, install pgld, pglcmd, and pglgui).

https://launchpad.net/~jre-phoenix/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Works a charm.

What are the steps for install? What are the commands? That's what I'm looking for. I don't know what a ppa is. I know I need to install the respiratory first.

They're on the web site I linked to under "Adding this PPA to your system" (don't forget to read "Read about installing" if you've never installed from a PPA before).

Then use sudo apt-get to install the three packages I mentioned, then run the GUI version and it just works.

it does not work I have done all of this this is why I need a step by step of how to install this this is why I need the to know what to type into the terminal. The repository is there I just need to know what to do next and I'm not running Ubuntu so those commands do not work.

vtoungate,

Welcome to LQ.

I am guessing that you are using Debian 8 (Jessie)?

If so, follow the instructions here:

https://sourceforge.net/p/peerguardi...-DebianUbuntu/


First, you need to modify your /etc/apt/sources.list file:


Open Terminal as root user:


Open the sources list with your favourite text editor (gedit, leafpad or nano etc):

OR

OR

Add these lines to the opened file:

deb http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/debian jessie main
deb-src http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/debian jessie main

Save and close the file.

Update:
Next, add the latest GPG key, one line at a time:

Then,update again:

Finally, install:

where do I find the source list I looked through the pgl folder and was not able to find that I am stuck on this part if you explain it a little more I think I can get this to install

I assume you have some wrong assumptions about how to install 3rd party software (like peerguardian) in Linux. If you are on Debian Jessie then the instructions from beachboy2 were absolutely correct and complete. You don't have to do anything else (like e.g. downloading an installer from peerguardian.sourceforge.net as you would do in Windows - you don't need to visit that page, except for reading the documentation at https://sourceforge.net/p/peerguardi...-DebianUbuntu/).

Re "source list": The /etc/apt/sources.list is a file on your harddisk, it already exists. This file tells your system where it can get software from.

Re "pgl folder": Did you download something manually and extract it? That's not necessary, you are on the wrong track, see above.

Good luck
jre (one of the pgl authors and deb maintainer)

EDIT: I read your last post too sloppily, seems you were already on the right track.
You had one typo (missing "-" as last character of the command) when you tried to add my GPG key. Should have been:

oh thank you beachboy2 and jere21 I was able to install I just now need to set it up thank you both for being patient with me and explaining in step by step process for a linux newbie like me

vtoungate,

Glad to be of assistance.

It is a good idea to copy/paste commands into Terminal and then there are no typing errors. I should have made a note of that.

You may find these two cheat sheets useful in the future:

The Command Line by William E Shotts Jr is heavier going but is more detailed:

Just take it slowly, one bit at a time. It is a gradual learning process.
