Adding Proteus

If you wish to add the Proteus repository to your list of sources and download packages; the command below will create a new file located at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/aetherinox-proteus-archive.list


Open Terminal and add the GPG key to your keyring

wget -qO - https://github.com/Aetherinox.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/aetherinox-proteus-archive.gpg


Fetch the repo package list:

echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/aetherinox-proteus-archive.gpg] https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Aetherinox/proteus-apt-repo/master $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/aetherinox-proteus-archive.list


(Optional): To test if the correct GPG key was added:

gpg -n -q --import --import-options import-show /usr/share/keyrings/aetherinox-proteus-archive.gpg | awk '/pub/{getline; gsub(/^ +| +$/,""); if($0 == "BCA07641EE3FCD7BC5585281488D518ABD3DC629") print "\nGPG fingerprint matches ("$0").\n"; else print "\GPG verification failed: Fngerprint ("$0") does not match the expected one.\n"}'


Finally, run in terminal

sudo apt update

Your new repository is now available to use. For a more detailed list of commands and how to use the Proteus repo, view the Usage section.
