Installing iCR Using Debian apt Package Management

To install using the apt package manager, the first steps are to comfigure apt with information about where to locate the OpenRefactory iCR package(s) and to setup the proper security GPG credentials to permit apt to operate securely.

NOTE: It is assumed that any necessary support software, such as Docker, have already been installed on the server. Links to that are provided in the Installing iCR section.

NOTE: apt requires that you have superuser privileges in order to install new packages. So all commands will be preceded with the sudo directive.

Getting the GPG (GNU Privacy Guard) public key is the initial step. Run the following command to import the GPG public key so that apt can verify package integrity during installation: sudo wget --quiet -O - https://apt.openrefactory.com/gpg-pubkey.asc | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/gpg-pubkey.asc

This will display the GPG key:

With the GPG public key ready, the next step is to tell apt where to find the OpenRefactory repository containing the iCR packages. This is accomplished with the following command: sudo wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/icr.list https://apt.openrefactory.com/icr.list

You should see an output similar to:

With the OpenrRefactory configuration set, make sure that the apt repository index is up to date by entering: sudo apt update

23 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.

NOTE: The steps above are only needed the first time that you install an iCR package from OpenRefactory. Once this confguration information is set on the current platform, future installations need only repeat the steps below.

Now you are ready to install your target iCR release package using this command: sudo apt install icr=6.0.0

As apt installs the package(s) you will see progress similar to this:

No containers need to be restarted.

No user sessions are running outdated binaries.

No VM guests are running outdated hypervisor (qemu) binaries on this host.

With iCR installed you can check that the system is ready by making sure that all of the Docker containers are present. Use this command to see all the registered Docker images: docker images

You should see the following images displayed:

Once the Docker containers are installed, the installation also sets up the icr command for you so that you can immediately use it to do any other configuration that may be required. How to use the icr command is outlined in the following section Managing your Service. The required End User License Agreement (EULA) must be reviewed. It is assumed that going forward with using iCR implies that you have read and accepted the EULA. You can find the EULA along with the complete SBOM for all of the libraries included in iCR in the /usr/share/icr-release directory.

If there becomes a reason for you to require iCR to be removed from your platform, you may do so using the following command: sudo apt remove icr

NOTE: If you decide to remove the iCR package, please be aware that deleting the package will ALSO delete the results of any analyses that were completed in the past and all historical data will be removed.

With iCR correctly installed, you will need to configure it before you can begin analyzing your projects. This is covered in the following section: Managing Your Service.
