Download

To install aptly on Debian/Ubuntu, add new repository to /etc/apt/sources.list::

deb http://repo.aptly.info/ squeeze main

And import key that is used to sign the release::

$ apt-key adv --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys ED75B5A4483DA07C

After that you can install aptly as any other software package::

$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install aptly

Don't worry about squeeze part in repo name: aptly package should work on Debian squeeze+, Ubuntu 10.0+. Package contains aptly binary, man page and bash completion.

If you would like to use nightly builds (unstable), please use following repository::

deb http://repo.aptly.info/ nightly main

Binary executables (depends almost only on libc) are available for download from Bintray <http://dl.bintray.com/smira/aptly/>_.

If you have Go environment set up, you can build aptly from source by running (go 1.10+ required)::

mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/aptly-dev/aptly
git clone https://github.com/aptly-dev/aptly $GOPATH/src/github.com/aptly-dev/aptly
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/aptly-dev/aptly
make install

Binary would be installed to $GOPATH/bin/aptly.
