Installing Spectra Core on Debian based Linux distributions

While it's not officially supported, it's possible to install Spectra Core on Debian based Linux distributions by converting the .rpm package to .deb and installing it using dpkg.

To do this, you will need to have the following tools installed:

  • alien
  • dpkg

Download the provided Spectra Core .rpm package and convert it to .deb using alien. Depending on your system, you might need to use sudo to run the commands.

sudo alien spectra-core-<version>.rpm

Once the .deb file is created, install it using dpkg:

sudo dpkg -i spectra-core-<version>.deb

Spectra Core installs into /opt/titanium_core, where it can be started using the following command:

./core_console

Add Spectra Core to PATH​

Alternatively, add /opt/titanium-core to your PATH and run core_console from any directory.

To do this, add the following line to your ~/.bashrc file:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/titanium_core

After adding the line, reload the ~/.bashrc file:

source ~/.bashrc

If you use zsh, the file is ~/.zshrc.

You can now run core_console from any directory.
