DTN Quick Start

This page is to help people start moving bundles as quickly and easily as possible. We will be posting or linking to installer packages for several platforms, along with simple instructions and helper software. Our goal is to post resources and instructions requiring as few clicks as possible.

Debian packages or DTN2 from source

This is the easiest and most versatile platform to move bundles on. Pygtk user interface is available.

Debian packages

DTN2 deb packages are available in the Extras-devl fremantle repo, or on this page. User interface deb packages also available.

Notes

OS X

DTN2 from source

We haven't built a convenient DTN2 binary package for OS X yet. Once built it is a lot like on Linux.

iPhone/iPod

DTN2 from source

Phone must be jailbroken to load the software. Currently no convenient binary package available. No user interface available.

Windows

Bytewalla

Modified version of Bytewalla can be run on Windows. No convenient binary package or user interface available yet.

Symbian S60

dtns60

Dtns60 binaries are signed with an old certificate, so it is difficult to load on a phone. Currently released version does not support neighbor discovery.
