Updated for update of deb
=Requirements=
You may want to have two different installations of Ubuntu.
* A development platform, running Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop 32 bit and/or 64 bit with the recommended development packages installed.
* An Amahi sandbox, running Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop 32 bit '''preferably''' under [http://www.virtualbox.org/ VirtualBox].
Please don't install the Amahi packages on the development platform as this might break your networking.
# Install Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop 32 bit.
