Below is a quick guide to installing Gitolite on Ubuntu.

Create an SSH public/private key pair
```
[user@client ~]$ ssh keygen -t rsa
```

Upload the public key to the server

[user@client ~]$ scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@server.example.org:/tmp/user.pub

SSH to the server and become root

[user@client ~]$ ssh user@server.example.org
user@server:~$ sudo su -

Install gitolite

root@server:~# apt-get install gitolite

Switch to the gitolite user
```
root@server:~# su - gitolite
```

Run the Gitolite setup script

gitolite@server:~$ gl-setup /tmp/user.pub

From your client computer clone the gitolite-admin repository

[user@client ~]$ git clone gitolite@server.example.org:gitolite-admin
Cloning into gitolite-admin...

Switch to the gitolite-admin directory
```
[user@client ~]$ cd gitolite-admin
```

Create a test repository

[user@client gitolite-admin]$ vim conf/gitolite.conf
[user@client gitolite-admin]$ git commit -a -m "Add test repository"
[user@client gitolite-admin]$ git a

Clone the test repository

[user@client ~]$ git clone gitolite@server.example.org:test

Add a README file to the test repository

[user@client test]$ echo "Test Repo" > README
[user@client test]$ git commit -a -m "Initial commit"

NOTE: The follow instructions are meant for the Linux CLI, and should be run with sudo or as root.

Install wvdial

Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install wvdial
Fedora/RHEL: yum install wvdial

Edit /etc/wvdial.conf and replace its content with:

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 460800
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0

[Dialer ricochet]
Username = *
Password = *
Phone = 3333
Inherits = Dialer Defaults

Replace /dev/ttyACM0 with the device your modem connected to:
```
user@host:~$ dmesg | grep cdc_acm
cdc_acm 2-1:1.0: ttyACM1: USB ACM device
```
Take the device name and prepend dev, so you get:
```
Modem = /dev/ttyACM1
```
Start wvdial
```
wvdial ricochet &
```
