  Yes.  '''apt-get install med-bio'''
  
- == Q. What about Ubuntu? ==
- 
- A. Despite the name, this project is not exclusively about producing packages for Debian, and many packagers are involved with both Debian and Ubuntu.  Debian Med packages automatically become part of Ubuntu, but this process takes time so the Ubuntu package will often be behind the one you see in Debian Sid.  As with Debian, new packages and non-critical updates are not added to an Ubuntu release after the release freeze (a month or so before the release date). And packages in the experimental section of Debian may not be acceptable for the Ubuntu main distributions.
- 
- The process for getting the packages into Ubuntu is the responsibility of the [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU|Ubuntu MOTO developers]] and follows a [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Merging|set procedure]] aided by the [[https://merges.ubuntu.com/|Merge-o-Matic system]] system.  Critical updates applied to already-stable releases are added separately in Debian and Ubuntu by the relevant local maintainers, but these are fairly rare among the packages maintained by Debian Med.
- 
- To help the situation with Ubuntu packages being out-of-date, [[https://launchpad.net/~debian-med/+archive/ppa|Debian Med uses a Personal Package Archive on Launchpad]].  This allows any Debian Med developer to backport packages to any release of Ubuntu, making use of the Launchpad build system. But this is not automated and is not a priority for most packagers. You may need to ask for a specific package on the mailing list.
