Installing TuxMake via Debian packages

Note: TuxMake requires Python 3.6 or newer.

TuxMake provides Debian packages that have minimal dependencies, and should work on any Debian or Debian-based (Ubuntu, etc) system.

1) Download the repository signing key and save it to /usr/share/keyrings/tuxmake.gpg.

# wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/tuxmake.gpg \
  https://tuxmake.org/packages/signing-key.gpg

2) Create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tuxmake.list with the following contents:

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tuxmake.gpg] https://tuxmake.org/packages/ ./

3) Install tuxmake as you would any other package:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install tuxmake

Upgrading tuxmake will work just like it would for any other package (apt update, apt upgrade).

Install using Debian extrepo

extrepo is a tool that helps configuring external repositories on Debian in a secure manner. As a pre-requisite for installation using this method, extrepo should be installed in your Debian machine.

1) Install extrepo if it is not installed previously:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install extrepo

2) Enable the tuxmake repository with extrepo:

sudo extrepo enable tuxmake

3) Install tuxmake as you would any other package:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install tuxmake

If the URL or the GPG key has changed, once updated in the extrepo-data repository, it can be easily updated with:

sudo extrepo update tuxmake
