-If using Debian/Ubuntu as I do, then just use the supplied package and your favourite package manager. Described in NLnetLabs's [[https://github.com/NLnetLabs/routinator#quick-start-with-debian-and-ubuntu-packages| Github]] repo. +If using Debian/Ubuntu as I do, then just use the supplied package and your favourite package manager. The instructions for how to install are in NLnetLabs excellent [[https://routinator.docs.nlnetlabs.nl/en/stable/installation.html| documentation]].

-If the link to the supplied package is added to your package manager, for example **apt** on Ubuntu, then create an entry in **/etc/apt/sources.list.d** called **nlnetlabs.list** and put this in it (which is for Ubuntu 22.04): +

-<code> +
-deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.nlnetlabs.nl/linux/ubuntu/ jammy main +

 The installer will set up the necessary **systemd** file so that Routinator starts automatically on boot. Remember to modify the **/etc/routinator/routinator.config** file so that Routinator listens on the IPv4 (and IPv6) ports of the system - and you can enable the default statistics pages which listen on port 8323.

 **rpki-client** is just a validator - it does not have the functionality to accept connections from a router.

-**rpki-client** has now been packaged and is available as part of the Ubuntu 22.04 distribution. However, the packaged version is old (version 7.6). At the time of writing, the current release of **rpki-client** is version 8.7.+**rpki-client** has now been packaged and is available across most mainstream Linux/Unix-based platforms. Including as part of the Ubuntu 22.04 and later distributions. However, the packaged version in Ubuntu is old (version 7.6 on 22.04, 9.0 on 24.04). At the time of writing, the current release of **rpki-client** is version 9.8. There is a current version of **rpki-client** on the Ubuntu Snap Store, but not every sysadm wishes to use yet another package manager on Ubuntu.
  
-So for this reason, and to stay up to date, at least on Ubuntu, we have to build it ourselves. A pity that the **rpki-client** maintainers don't build their own deb package, or pre-build packages like NLnetLabs do with Routinator. Oh well.+My preference is to stay up to date on Ubuntu, and so we have to build it ourselves. A pity that the **rpki-client** maintainers don't build their own deb package, or pre-build packages like NLnetLabs do with Routinator, given that Ubuntu maintainers seem to be unable to keep the software current. Oh well.
  
-==== Initial Preparation ==== 
  
-Before you attempt to download and build it, the **rpki-client** instructions note that you need a few other packages in place. These include **automake**, **autoconf**, **make**, **git** itself, **libtool** and **expat**. This is all quite easy using the Ubuntu package manager. 
-<code> 
-sudo apt install automake autoconf make git libtool libexpat1-dev 
-</code> 
-The other required package noted in the instructions is **tls** from LibreSSL. LibreSSL is a branch of OpenSSL and is used on OpenBSD - not found on Linux, but seems to be appearing in the latest Debian/Ubuntu beta builds. So we need to download the bits we need and install. The **rpki-client** instructions don't say anything about how to do that. 
  
-First we go to [[https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/|https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/]] and select the latest package, which is libressl-3.9.2.tar.gz at time of writing +==== Initial Preparation ====
-<code> +
-wget https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/libressl-3.9.2.tar.gz +
-</code> +
-We then unpack it: +
-<code> +
-tar zxf libressl-3.9.2.tar.gz +
-</code> +
-and then build it: +
-<code> +
-cd libressl-3.9.2 +
-./configure --enable-libtls-only +
-make +
-sudo make install +
-</code> +
-Note the option to only build **libtls** - we don't need the rest of LibreSSL and it could well interfere with OpenSSL which will already be on the system. Now that **libtls** is built, the **install** action will put the libraries in **/usr/local/lib** like this: +
-<code> +
--rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18679208 Jul 14 10:11 libtls.a +
--rw-r--r-- 1 root root      923 Jul 14 10:11 libtls.la +
-lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       16 Jul 14 10:11 libtls.so -> libtls.so.29.0.0 +
-lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       16 Jul 14 10:11 libtls.so.29 -> libtls.so.29.0.0 +
--rw-r--r-- 1 root root  8721528 Jul 14 10:11 libtls.so.29.0.0 +
-</code> +
-Run **sudo ldconfig** so that the system knows about the new libraries.+
  
-Next we need to get some packages that **rpki-client** needs. These are **libssl-dev**, **rsync** and **zlib1g-dev**.+Before you attempt to download and build it, the **rpki-client** instructions note that you need a few other packages in place.
