Package Repository

Here you can find Linux packages for our opensource projects, and a Homebrew tap (byjg/homebrew-tap) with our command-line tools for macOS and Linux.

Setup​

The repositories are served from https://packages.byjg.com. A setup made with the former https://opensource.byjg.com addresses keeps working: they redirect there.

One command

On Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL and Alpine, the byjg-repo script of shellscript.download does the setup below, signing key included, and can list and install the packages:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://shellscript.download/install/loader)"   # once: installs load.sh
load.sh byjg-repo -- --install <package-name>

load.sh remove -- byjg-repo takes the repository out again.

Download the GPG signing key and add the repository:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo curl -fsSL https://packages.byjg.com/byjg.gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/byjg.gpg
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/byjg.sources <<EOF
Types: deb
URIs: https://packages.byjg.com/apt
Suites: /
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/byjg.gpg
EOF
sudo apt update
Alternative: one-line format (for older systems)
sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo curl -fsSL https://packages.byjg.com/byjg.gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/byjg.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/byjg.gpg] https://packages.byjg.com/apt /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/byjg.list
sudo apt update

Install a package​

sudo apt install <package-name>

List available packages​

curl -fsSL https://packages.byjg.com/apt/Packages | grep ^Package | sort -u

This reads the index from the repository itself. The copy apt keeps in /var/lib/apt/lists is compressed on some systems, such as the Docker images.

Remove the repository​

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/byjg.sources /etc/apt/keyrings/byjg.gpg
sudo apt update
