Debian

DKMS style packages are provided for Debian from the official zfsonlinux.org repository. These packages are less actively maintained and may not be updated as new releases are tagged. The Debian project has announced their intention to ship ZFS on Linux as part of Debian and that work is currently ongoing. Packages are available for the following configurations:

Debian Releases: 7.x (Wheezy), 8.x (Jessie)
Architectures: amd64

To add the repository to your system install the zfsonlinux package as shown below. This will add the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zfsonlinux.list and /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/zfsonlinux.gpg files to your computer. Afterwards, you can install zfs like any other Debian package using apt-get. As new updated packages are made available they will be detected and installed as part of the standard update process.

If you wish to use the Debian GNU/Linux ZoL snapshot packages (pre-releases), you will need to uncomment the line(s) related to the 'dailies' repository (at the end of the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zfsonlinux.list file) by removing the hash mark at the beginning of the line.

Then run apt-get to update and install ZoL:

$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install debian-zfs
