Tips and tricks seems to be broken so I will put this here.

Maybe someone will find this useful.

I down loaded the amd64 iso images for Debian 8 from here.
www.debian.org/releases/jessie/debian-installer/

I updated /etc/apt/sources.list to include the following

deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8.11.0 _Jessie_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20180623-13:07]/ jessie contrib main

deb security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib
deb-src security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib

deb httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib
deb-src httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib


deb httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-updates main contrib
deb-src httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-updates main contrib


I only used the install DVD #1 for sources.list, the other 2 iso DVD's seem to break the install for some reason.

Then su root

# apt-get update
# apt-get install sudo
# apt-get install build-essential
# apt-get install mysql-server

sudo is needed due to the project deb package installation script

dpkg -i pwr55_5.5.0-1_amd64.deb

dpkg -i pwrrt_5.5.0-1_amd64.deb

dpkg -i --force-overwrite pwrsev_5.5.0-1_amd64.deb

--force-overwrite is needed due to a needed existing file overwrite.

everything seems to work

thanks Proview
