Distributions

Nyancat is available in the following distributions:

And also on some BSD systems:

Setup

First build the C application:

make && cd src

You can run the C application standalone.

./nyancat

To use the telnet server, you need to add a configuration that runs:

nyancat -t

We recommend openbsd-inetd, but both xinetd and systemd work as well. You should be able to use any other compatible inetd flavor too.

Distribution Specific Information

Debian/Ubuntu

Debian and Ubuntu provide the nyancat binary through the nyancat package. A nyancat-server package is provided to automatically setup and enable a nyancat telnet server upon installation. I am not the maintainer of these packages; please direct any questions or bugs to the relevant distribution's bug tracking system.
