1) Introduction

This method of installing the XmlPL compiler tools is much easier if you are running a Debian based operating system such as Ubuntu or Knoppix. You must have root access to your system to install packages.

2) Install XmlPL.org public key

The following command will download XmlPL.org's public keys and install them in apt-get. This is necessary to avoid warnings when installing XmlPL packages. 

wget http://www.xmlpl.org/xmlpl_pub_key.asc -O - | sudo apt-key add -

3) Add XmlPL package repository

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following lines to the end of the file. 

deb http://www.xmlpl.org/debian unstable/
deb http://www.xmlpl.org/debian stable/

4) Update package list and install

You only need to do the first two steps once. Afterwards, you can get the latest version of XmlPL anytime by running the following commands. 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xmlpl

5) Another way

Alternatively, if you aren't comfortable with the above procedure you can download and install the .deb files from http://www.xmlpl.org/unstable/ and install them with 

dpkg -i <package file>
.
