Setting up Firebird on Ubuntu Linux

This article describes the process of installing and running Firebird on Ubuntu Linux. It should also work without modification in the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (testing version named Wheezy and unstable version named Sid). Ubuntu is based on Debian core packages. Installing software with Ubuntu is very straightforward and Firebird is no exception. This guide is based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS “The Precise Pangolin” but it can be used with a current supported stable release.

The version of Firebird packaged with Ubuntu “Precise Pangolin” is 2.5.1 and is included by default . For stable Ubuntu releases there is a Firebird stable ppa repository from where you can install the stable versions latest LTS and current stable .

With administrator privileges on the target machine, issue the following command:

      $ sudo su
      # apt-get install firebird2.5-superclassic
      

Apt's dependency tracking will automatically propose all the packages required for a complete installation with the following output:
