+#### Debian

+The releases also contain a `reaction.deb` file, which packages reaction & ip46tables.
+You can install it using `sudo apt install ./reaction.deb`.
+You'll have to create a configuration at `/etc/reaction.jsonnet`.

+If you want to use another configuration format (YAML or JSON), you can override systemd's `ExecStart` command in `/etc/systemd/system/reaction.service` like this:
