Installing rtinst
Installing rtinst just takes a few seconds. First download the setup script, rtsetup:
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/raw/arakasi72/rtinst/master/rtsetup
Then run the script. If you run it with no arguments (or the argument "release" it will install the latest release)
sudo bash rtsetup
You can rerun rtsetup if you wish to change the release or branch of rtinst. You no longer need to explicitly use "bash" to launch rtsetup, as it has been installed, with all the other rtinst scripts.
For example:
Install the master branch build
sudo rtsetup master
Install the latest release (no argument needed if it is a fresh install)
sudo rtsetup release
Install a specific release
sudo rtsetup v1.00
After the initial install if you run it with no arguments, it will update to the latest version of the branch, or the latest numbered release
To check which version you are currently using run the script rtversion (available from v1.0.1)
rtversion
Generally speaking it is best to use the latest numbered release. They will be stable, you can run rtgetscripts to upgrade to the latest release. as they come available.
This is what I use on my live server.
You can use the master build. This should be fairly stable, but not as much testing, so occasionally there may be issues, but these will also be fixed fairly quickly. I would strongly advise against using any other branches, as they tend to be unstable, and transient.
Also there are unnumbered releases that address more specific and less typical requirements, and should only be used when specifically required, such as installing a seedbox on older unsupported OS distributions. For example the release deb7ubu12 is used to install on the older Debian 7 and Ubuntu 12 OS's
