Installation

This part of the documentation covers the installation of the LEAP Client. We assume that you want to get it properly installed before being able to use it.

Debian package

If you are lucky enough to be using a debian system... well, you are lucky enough :)

To be able to install leap-client, you need to add the leap repo to your software sources. First you add the leap keys to your keyring:

gpg --recv-key 0x1E34A1828E207901 0x485B12FA218E81EB
gpg -a --export 0x1E34A1828E207901  | sudo apt-key add -

Now you edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the leap repository:

deb http://deb.leap.se/debian unstable main

Get the package leap-keyring, so you can install the packages in a trusted way and get key updates automatically:

apt-get update
apt-get install leap-keyring

And, finally, install the client:

apt-get install leap-client

Distribute & Pip

Install the dependencies:

apt-get install openvpn python-qt4 python-dev python-openssl

And then installing the client with pip is as simple as:

pip install leap-client

Show me the code!

You can get the latest tarball

wget https://leap.se/downloads/leap-client/tarball/latest

Or the zipball:

wget http://leap.se/downloads/leap-client/zipball/latest

Or, if you prefer, you can also get the code from LEAP public git repository

git clone git://leap.se/leap_client

Or from the github mirror

git clone git://github.com/leapcode/leap_client.git

Once you have grabbed a copy of the sources for whatever mean, you can install it into your site-packages:

$ pyton setup.py install
