Linckraker APT Repository Setup

This page provides instructions for adding the official Linckraker APT repository to your Debian-based system (including Ubuntu and Linux Mint).

Method 1: Install with the Repository Package (Recommended)

This is the simplest and most reliable method. It automatically adds the GPG key and the correct repository line for your specific system release.

Run the following single command in your terminal:

curl -Lo /tmp/lincrepo.deb https://deb.linckraker.com/lincrepo.deb && sudo dpkg -i /tmp/lincrepo.deb

Command Breakdown:

curl -Lo: Downloads the file from the specified URL and saves it to the /tmp directory.
&&: A logical operator that ensures the next command only runs if the previous one was successful.
sudo dpkg -i: Installs the downloaded Debian package. The postinst script within the package automatically detects your system's release name and configures the repository.

After the package is installed, update your package lists to include the new repository:

sudo apt update

Method 2: Manual Setup

If you prefer a manual setup, follow these steps to add the GPG key and the repository line individually.

Step 1: Add the GPG key.

Import the repository's GPG key into your system's keyring. This ensures that the packages you download are from a trusted source and have not been tampered with.

curl -fsSL https://deb.linckraker.com/repos/apt/linckraker-archive-keyring.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/linckraker-archive-keyring.gpg

Step 2: Add the repository to your sources list.

Create a new file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ to tell APT where to find our packages. Replace <codename> with your system's release name (e.g., bullseye or trixie).

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/linckraker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://deb.linckraker.com/repos/apt/debian <codename> main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linckraker.list

Step 3: Update your package lists.

Finally, update your system's package list to make the new repository available.

sudo apt update
