As root, add the Arvados package repository to your sources. This command depends on your OS vendor and version:

Note:

1 Arvados packages for Ubuntu may depend on third-party packages in Ubuntu’s “universe” repository. If you’re installing on Ubuntu, make sure you have the universe sources uncommented in /etc/apt/sources.list.

Retrieve the package list:

# apt-get update
