## Setup
First build the C application:
2011-12-02 01:20:03 +00:00
make & & cd src
2011-12-01 02:14:33 +00:00
2011-12-05 13:45:00 +00:00
You can run the C application standalone.
2011-12-01 02:14:33 +00:00
./nyancat
2011-12-04 01:31:21 +00:00
To use the telnet server, you need to add a configuration that runs:
2011-12-01 02:14:33 +00:00
2011-12-04 01:31:21 +00:00
nyancat -t
2011-12-01 02:14:33 +00:00
2012-05-25 14:16:30 +00:00
We recommend `openbsd-inetd` , but `xinetd` will work as well, and you should be able to use any other compatible `inetd` flavor.

#### Debian/Ubuntu
Debian and Ubuntu provide the nyancat binary through the `nyancat` package.
A `nyancat-server` package is provided to automatically setup and enable a
nyancat telnet server upon installation. I am not the maintainer of these
