Repositories

{% include repo-table.html %}

Distributions

Each repository is divided into one or more distributions that contains packages specific for each ubuntu version.

You can run lsb_release -cr to see what ubuntu version you are running on.

Here is a list of supported distributions:

id	Codename	Version
{% for dist in site.data.dists -%}
{{ dist[0] }}	{{ dist[1].codename_full }}	{{ dist[1].version }}
{% endfor %}

NOTE: Not all repositories have all distributions. check the links in the repository table to see what distributions are available for each repository.

Components

Each repository/distribution pair has 3 different components described below.

Name	Description
stable	Releases that are properly tested and does not contain any experimental code
edge	Development releases that may or may not work as expected. Do not use in production environment
testing	Testing releases, everything ends up here first to be tested before being moved to edge or stable

Example

To add the stable eosio repository on a ubuntu 18.04 bionic system the following command will do:

{% include apt-add.html repo="eosio" distribution="bionic" components="stable" %}

To add both edge and stable components for the main repository:

{% include apt-add.html repo="main" distribution="bionic" components="stable edge" %}

Same as previous example, but we are on a ubuntu 19.10 eoan system:

{% include apt-add.html repo="eosio" distribution="eoan" components="stable edge" %}
