Here is Jonathan Marsden's personal package archive with the RepRap Debian/Ubuntu packages:

https://edge.launchpad.net/~jmarsden/+archive/reprap

You can install them on an Ubuntu machine with the following commands. 

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jmarsden/reprap && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install reprap-mendel-host reprap-mendel-electronics reprap-mendel-firmware reprap-mendel-mechanics reprap-utils

You also probably need to add a udev rule to access the communication port. 

echo 'SYSFS{idVendor}=="0403", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="666"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/sanguino-usb.rules > /dev/null

To get the software for loading firmware into the Sanguino chip, issue the following commands (not necessary, if the firmware has been loaded already). 

sudo apt-get -y install arduino
sudo wget --continue --directory-prefix=/tmp http://sanguino.googlecode.com/files/Sanguino-0018r2_1_4.zip
sudo unzip -o /tmp/Sanguino-0018r2_1_4.zip Sanguino/* -d /usr/share/arduino/hardware

Enjoy.

Previously suggested method for installation

Hey there,

I have written a script that downloads and installs RepRap on Ubuntu/Debian(Squeeze)/derivatives. It gets prerequisites and chooses architecture. It makes an all-user installation.

RepRap-install.sh

Please test the script and comment whether it is OK. Feel free to make modifications that suit your needs. The script can be downloaded and run with the following commands: 

wget http://reprap.org/mediawiki/images/5/57/RepRap-install.sh
sudo sh RepRap-install.sh

Eventually the script may be placed on the page for RepRap installation.

Regards
