This tutorial assumes you have a basic knowledge of Linux and terminal usage, the entire process uses the Linux terminal.
Installing on Ubuntu
Obtaining signing key
First, we need to obtain the Unita signing key from the ubuntu keyserver, here's how:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys BF5B197D
This will download and add the Unita signing key to your Linux install.
Adding repository to your APT sources.
sudo su - Sudo to root first
echo "deb https://repo.unita.network/apt/ubuntu/ xenial main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
This will add the repository to your APT sources file. NOTE: Please remember to change "xenial" for your Ubuntu version codename
Refreshing APT sources and installing Unita
sudo apt update && sudo apt install unita
By doing this, we'll update our sources and install Unita on our Ubuntu Box
Installing on Debian
Obtaining the public key in Debian is a bit different, but not complicated
First, we need to make sure sudo is installed:
Type sudo su and press enter, if you get a password prompt, then you can move on to obtaining the public key
Installing sudo
Obtain admin privileges (su to root) and then type your admin user (root) password
Once you're logged in as "root" please type the following: apt-get install sudo
When sudo finishes installing, add your user to the sudo group: gpasswd -a youruser sudo
Logout and then log in again.
Obtaining Public key
Install dirmngr first
sudo apt install dirmngr
`sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys BF5B197D`
This downloads and installs the Unita public key
Adding repository to your APT sources.
sudo su - Sudo to root first
echo "deb https://repo.unita.network/apt/debian/ stretch main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
