On this page you will find instructions on how to install the Moonshot Libraries a Debian 9 (Stretch) device to enable its use as a Moonshot Client.
Contents
Assumptions & Prerequisites
This guide assumes you have root access to the Linux device. This is required as new software needs to be installed system-wide.
Outdated
This guide is experimental, as the Debian 9 packages have not been moved to the official repository yet. Currently only AMD64 packages are available.
1. System Preparation
The Moonshot client mechanism and ID manager are part of the standard Debian 9 repository. However, if you prefer having the most updated packages, use the following procedure.
1.1. Get the Debian 9 packages
Go to https://jisc365-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/alex_perez-mendez_jisc_ac_uk/Eirerz1CGgFKpU8eHYC-1qoBPIMTvo8GgWpo-KY7szMWcQ and get the following files:
libevent-openssl-2.0-5_2.0.21-stable-3_amd64_libssl1.0.deb
moonshot-ui_1.0.6-2_amd64.deb
moonshot-gss-eap_1.0.1-3_amd64.deb
- libmoonshot1_1.0.6-2_amd64.deb
2. Install the Moonshot Client libraries
We’re now ready to install the Moonshot software and its required dependencies. Install the software by running the following commands:
Try to install the packages (it will fail, but that is intended):
$ dpkg -i libevent-openssl-2.0-5_2.0.21-stable-3_amd64_libssl1.0.deb moonshot-ui_1.0.6-2_amd64.deb moonshot-gss-eap_1.0.1-3_amd64.deb libmoonshot1_1.0.6-2_amd64.deb
Finalise the installation of the packages and the dependencies:
$ apt-get install -f
3. Next steps
At this point, you now have all of the required Moonshot software on your device, including the Moonshot Identity Selector. Depending on what client application you are using and wish to enable Moonshot authentication for, you job may now be done, or you may need to go and install a Moonshot compatible version of the client software or configure your existing client. Check the section on client compatibility if you are unsure.
