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

OS version	Command
Debian 10 (“buster”)	`echo "deb http://apt.arvados.org/buster buster main" \| tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/arvados.list`
Debian 9 (“stretch”)	`echo "deb http://apt.arvados.org/stretch stretch main" \| tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/arvados.list`

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
