I have gone through this thread but I’m not finding any profound instructions on how to Install it.

Package security-misc from Whonix to Qubes

Whonix has [security-misc](https://github.com/Whonix/security-misc/) package, wh…ich is meant to be reusable across different security distributions. It would be good to include it also in Qubes. This would solve #1108 for example. It would require: - [ ] add `Makefile.builder` - [ ] add RPM packaging too - [ ] decide how to deal with it in Whonix templates (where that package will come from two different places) Maybe on Debian template it should be installed directly from Whonix repository? Probably bad idea, may pull another packages, have unwanted side effects. Any opinion @adrelanos?

If anyone can help me with this that would be great, the GitHub thread is pretty old so let me know on any update or installing Manuel I can go by for this.

Qubes-Whonix: security-misc is installed by default in Qubes-Whonix. No user action required.
Kicksecure for Qubes: has also security-misc installed by default. Again no user action required.
security-misc for other Qubes Templates or Qubes dom0: Unavaialble at time of writing. There are no instructions because it’s an unresolved development task (TODO). Should that change the ticket that you linked would be updated. I do not expect progress there unless contributed.
