Installation using the Package Manager
Padre 0.63 is available in Debian 6.0 ("squeeze"), as well as in the unstable (Pare 0.90) and testing (Padre 0.90) branches of Debian.
Install:
# aptitude install padre
Older Stable Releases
If you run a stable release prior to Squeeze (6.0), you'd have to add an "unstable" or "testing" source to /etc/apt/sources.list, e.g. as follows:
deb http://mirror.isoc.org.il/pub/debian/ unstable main deb-src http://mirror.isoc.org.il/pub/debian/ unstable main
Then update the package list
# aptitude update
and perform the installation as described above.
Installation from CPAN or Git
Make sure that CPAN can work properly. Install the build-essential package if it is not yet installed.
aptitude install libppix-regexp-perl libalien-wxwidgets-perl libppix-editortools-perl libio-string-perl libdevel-dumpvar-perl libfile-spec-perl libwx-perl libprobe-perl-perl libwxbase2.8-dev libdevel-refactor-perl libnet-daemon-perl libclass-unload-perl libthreads-shared-perl libwxgtk2.8-0 libtext-diff-perl libfile-next-perl libdbi-perl libtext-glob-perl ack-grep libclass-inspector-perl libtext-findindent-perl libfile-remove-perl libplrpc-perl libmodule-manifest-perl libparse-exuberantctags-perl libtemplate-tiny-perl libparse-errorstring-perl-perl libpod-pom-perl liborlite-migrate-perl libfile-pushd-perl libio-stringy-perl libwxbase2.8-0 libipc-run-perl libclass-adapter-perl libtask-weaken-perl libpod2-base-perl liborlite-perl libfile-find-rule-perl libpod-abstract-perl libclass-xsaccessor-perl libio-pty-perl libclone-perl libwx-perl-processstream-perl libipc-run3-perl libwxgtk2.8-dev libdbd-sqlite3-perl libfile-sharedir-perl libppi-perl wx2.8-headers libfile-homedir-perl liblist-moreutils-perl libdebug-client-perl libnumber-compare-perl libyaml-tiny-perl libgtk2.0-dev
Then either install from CPAN (which will help you to resolve possible additional dependencies), or run perl Makefile.PL make make test make install in the Padre directory. Pay attention to the output of perl Makefile.PL, it may remind you of some missing CPAN modules that you need to install.

Still Not Working?
Following the instructions on this page did not lead to a successful installation?
We will do our best to help you. By letting us know that something does not work you will help us, too. When we know about it, we can improve this documentation and Padre itself.
