Ubuntu packagesΒΆ

New in version 0.10.

Scrapinghub publishes apt-gettable packages which are generally fresher than those in Ubuntu, and more stable too since they’re continuously built from Github repo (master & stable branches) and so they contain the latest bug fixes.

To use the packages, just add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list, and then run aptitude update and apt-get install scrapy-0.18:

deb http://archive.scrapy.org/ubuntu DISTRO main

Replacing DISTRO with the name of your Ubuntu release, which you can get with command:

lsb_release -cs

Supported Ubuntu releases are: precise, quantal, raring.

For Ubuntu Raring (13.04):

deb http://archive.scrapy.org/ubuntu raring main

For Ubuntu Quantal (12.10):

deb http://archive.scrapy.org/ubuntu quantal main

For Ubuntu Precise (12.04):

deb http://archive.scrapy.org/ubuntu precise main
