Ubuntu uses the debian package management system (aka apt-get) and offers several different pike packages including version 7.2, 7.4, and 7.6. Ubuntu also divides the different pike modules into different packages but offers a meta-package for each version. This means that when you install the meta-package for the version you wish to use, all the pike modules for that version are installed at that time as well.To install Pike 7.6 at the command line, type: sudo apt-get install pike7.6
- For the above to work, you must be root or in the sudoer group.
- You may install pike through the graphical installers provided by the Ubuntu distribution.
- The package called 'pike' installs Pike 7.2

2 BSD2.1 FreeBSD2.2 OpenBSD2.3 NetBSDThere does exist a Pike pkgsrc package, but it is for a pretty old version (7.6.66) and it is still a WIP package. I have not been able to compile Pike on NetBSD/i386 6.0.1 from pkgsrc-wip. However, the source from the 7.8.700 release tarball compiles just fine! The only change I made was append a "--prefix" to the "CONFIGUREARGS" variable in the Makefile.
