h1. Installing Petals ESB using the Debian packages

Nowadays, no public repository exists containing the Debian packages of Petals ESB. So to install yours, you must download them, next install them with your favorite Debian tools ({{synaptic}}, {{apt-get}}, {{dpkg}}).

Several Debian packages are available:
|| Package || Description || Depends on || Required for a production use ||
| {{petals-esb}} | The base package of Petals ESB to run a minimalist container | {{java2-runtime}}, {{curl}} | required |
| {{petals-esb-autoloader}} | The extension "Petals ESB Autoloader" | {{petals-esb}} | not recommended |
| {{petals-esb-artfifact-repository}} | The extension "Petals ESB artifact repository" | {{petals-esb}} | optional |
| {{petals-esb-wsapi}} | The extension "Petals ESB WS API" | {{petals-esb-artfifact-repository}} | optional |

+Note 1:+ The Petals ESB Autoloader is not recommended in production mode because of security reasons.

+Note 2:+ If your security policy requires to push your JBI artifacts on the host instead of downloading them, you can:
* use the extension Petals ESB artifact repository and push your JBI artifacts in its repository,
* or, push your JBI artifacts in a dedicated directory and use a remote Petals CLI with local file-based URLs.
