Install snf-image-creator using packages

========================================

Ubuntu

------

For *Ubuntu 12.04 LTS* and *12.10* systems, you can use our official packages

found in *grnet/synnefo* Lauchpad PPA.

.. warning::

   In *Ubuntu 12.10* the current package of libguestfs (1.18-2) is broken. Take

   a look at the open `bug report <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/libguestfs/+bug/1086974>`_.

   Until version 1.18-2ubunut1 is out, you may workaround this problem by

   creating a symlink like this:

   *sudo ln -s /usr/lib/guestfs /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/guestfs*

Arch Linux

----------

For *Arch Linux* there are **unofficial** packages in AUR:
