This tutorial have describes two methods to configure Apt repository on your Ubuntu & Debian systems. The first method uses the add-apt-repository command to configure the repository for you. You can also use its symlink command apt-add-repository. In any case, the command doesn’t exists on your system. The tutorial add-apt-repository command not found will help you.
1. Using add-apt-repository command
Use the add-apt-repository (or symlink apt-add-repository) command to add launchpad PPA to your system. You just need to provide launchpad reference address as the following command.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
You can fixed error add-apt-repository command not found if occurred.
For other hosted repositories, can be also configured by providing its reference as below:
add-apt-repository 'deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu wily-getdeb games'
2. Create Files Manually
You can just create a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory. The file name must end with .list extension. The apt package manager also read repository configuration files from here.
For example:
vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/games.list
Add the repository paths as below.
deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu wily-getdeb games
You can add multiple repository references in a single file as required.
Thanks for visiting Deb.
