Installation instructions

deb

Begin by refreshing your package cache by running

sudo apt-get update

If you are running Debian, install debian-archive-keyring so that official Debian repositories will be verified (Ubuntu users can skip this)

sudo apt-get install debian-archive-keyring

Ensure the required tools (curl, gpg, apt-transport-https) are installed before proceeding:

sudo apt-get install curl gnupg apt-transport-https

In order to install a deb repo, first you need to install the GPG key that used to sign repository metadata. This will change depending on whether or not your apt version is >= v.1.1. You can check this by running:

apt -v

For apt version >= v1.1:

(Equivalent to or later than Debian/Raspbian Stretch, Ubuntu Xenial, Linux Mint Sarah, Elementary OS Loki)

1. Create the directory to import the GPG key:

2. From apt v2.4.0, /etc/apt/keyrings/ is the designated directory for administrator imported keys. We will be using that for the following instructions, but you can replace /etc/apt/keyrings/ with any path of your choosing. If you need to create the directory, run:

   mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings/

3. Then add the GPG key:

   curl -fsSL https://packagecloud.io/github/git-lfs/gpgkey | gpg --dearmor > /etc/apt/keyrings/github_git-lfs-archive-keyring.gpg

4. Create a file named /etc/apt/sources.list.d/github_git-lfs.list that contains the repository configuration below.

   Make sure to replace ubuntu and trusty in the config below with your Linux distribution and version:

       deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/github_git-lfs-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packagecloud.io/github/git-lfs/ubuntu trusty main
       deb-src [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/github_git-lfs-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packagecloud.io/github/git-lfs/ubuntu trusty main

For apt version < v1.1:

(Equivalent to or older than Debian/Raspbian Jessie, Ubuntu Wily, Linux Mint Rosa, Elementary OS Freya)

1. Add the GPG key:

   curl -fsSL https://packagecloud.io/github/git-lfs/gpgkey | gpg --dearmor > /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/github_git-lfs.gpg

2. Create a file named /etc/apt/sources.list.d/github_git-lfs.list that contains the repository configuration below.

   Make sure to replace ubuntu and trusty in the config below with your Linux distribution and version:

       deb https://packagecloud.io/github/git-lfs/ubuntu trusty main
       deb-src https://packagecloud.io/github/git-lfs/ubuntu trusty main

Valid options for os and dist parameters can be found in our support OS list in the docs.

Run this command update your local APT cache:

sudo apt-get update

You can now install packages from your repository.

rpm

Install pygpgme, a package which allows yum to handle gpg signatures, and a package called yum-utils which contains the tools you need for installing source RPMs.

sudo yum install pygpgme yum-utils

You may need to install the EPEL repository for your system to install these packages. If you do not install pygpgme, GPG verification will not work.

Create a file named /etc/yum.repos.d/github_git-lfs.repo that contains the repository configuration below.

Make sure to replace el and 6 in the config below with your Linux distribution and version:

[github_git-lfs]
name=github_git-lfs
baseurl=https://packagecloud.io/github/git-lfs/el/6/$basearch
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgcheck=0
