Index Data provides pre-compiled GNU/Debian and Ubuntu packages at our Debian package archive, both for recent releases.
For Debian, refer to http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/zebra/debian/README for how to configure APT. For Ubuntu, refer to http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/zebra/ubuntu/README. After refreshing the package cache with the command
      apt-get update
     
     as root, the
     Zebra indexer is
     easily installed issuing
     
      apt-get install idzebra-2.0 idzebra-2.0-doc
     
     These Zebra
     packages are specifically compiled for
     GNU/Debian Linux systems and Ubuntu. Installation on other
     GNU/Debian systems is possible by
     re-compilation the Debian way: you need to add only the
     deb-src sources lines to the
     /etc/apt/sources.list configuration file,
     After refreshing the package cache with the command
     
      apt-get update
      apt-get build-dep idzebra-2.0
     
     as root, the
     Zebra indexer is
     recompiled and installed issuing
     
      fakeroot apt-get source --compile idzebra-2.0
     
     as normal user.
     The compiled GNU/Debian packages can then be
     installed as root issuing
     
      dpkg -i install idzebra-2.0*.deb libidzebra-2.0*.deb
