Aptly is a Debian package manager that helps you manage and publish packages across different kinds of repositories. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Aptly on the Linux Mint Latest operating system.
Before we start with Aptly installation, ensure that you have the following:
It's always advisable to update your system packages before installing any new software. Use the following command to update your system:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Enter your sudo password if prompted.
To install Aptly, you need to install the official GPG key. Use the following command to download and install the key:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys ED75B5A4483DA07C
Aptly does not come pre-installed on the Linux Mint Latest operating system. Therefore, you need to add the Aptly repository. Use the following command to add the Aptly repository:
echo "deb https://repo.aptly.info/ squeeze main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/aptly.list
Now that the Aptly repository has been added, you can proceed and install Aptly. Use the following command to install Aptly:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install aptly
After the installation is complete, verify whether Aptly has been successfully installed. Use the following command to verify if Aptly is installed:
aptly version
If the output displays the version number of Aptly, then it has been successfully installed.
In this tutorial, we have guided you through the process of installing Aptly on the Linux Mint Latest operating system. You can now start using Aptly to manage and publish various Debian packages.
