# Installation example for Ubuntu/Debian (64 bit)

This is an example installation of PingID SSH for 64-bit Ubuntu or Debian distributions. Your installation might vary depending on your particular configuration.

## Steps

1. Retrieve the latest versions of packages and their dependencies:

   ```
   sudo apt-get update
   ```

2. Install the following packages:

   1. Compilers and utilities

   2. OpenSSL development version

   3. libCURL development version

   4. libPAM development version

      ```
      sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libpam-dev
      ```

3. Download and extract the PingID package.

4. Go to the PingID installation directory:

   ```
   cd pingid-<version>
   ```

5. Execute the following command, where `--prefix` points to the base folder into which you wish to install:

   ```
   ./configure --with-pam --prefix=/usr
   ```

6. Build and install PingID SSH:

   ```
   make
   ```

   ```
   sudo make install
   ```

7. Download the properties file. See [Integrate PingID with SSH](pid_integration_with_ssh_intro.html).
