There is not one. At least I have never seen a Debian package for latest
Fricas.
Hmmm... not quite true.

But I heard that this one is built on GCL. I need one with SBCL.
But it is easy enough to build Fricas from source on Ubuntu.
Well... that's what I do all the time. ;-) But when it comes to install
FriCAS for someone quickly, then showing this person how to "apt-get
install" all the prerequisites, then downloading and compiling FriCAS is
perhaps a bit too time consuming and wouldn't really enable that person
to upgrade to a newer version of FriCAS when it is released.
Another option, which I used before is to use Arch Linux based
distribution. I recommend Manjaro. Then you can simply install Fricas 1.3.7
with one click of a button, using its GUI installer, since Fricas package
exist on AUR for all Arch linux based distributions. It will download it
and install for you.

That looks great, but I need something for Ubuntu. Maybe it would be
enough if someone has a script that compiles a .deb package.
Otherwise I simply create a VM with everything I need in it.
BTW, I see a comment about jfricas and hunchentoot on the archlinux.org
site. Is jfricas working in Manjaro?
