Weston Robot Apt Source

C++ libraries and binaries (including the widget apps) are provided as ".deb" installation packages. There are two methods you can acquire and install the released debian packages:

• Download the ".deb" packages from the corresponding github repository and install with the "dpkg" command, e.g., $ sudo dpkg -i <package_name>.deb
• Install the packages from Weston Robot's apt-get server

Here are the steps you can follow to add the Weston Robot package source:

Note

We updated our apt-get server in July 2023. If you've added Weston Robot's old apt source before, you will need to remove it first.

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weston-robot.list

Now follow the steps below to setup the repository.

1. Add the GPG key for the Weston Robot repository:

   sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
   curl -fsSL http://deb.westonrobot.net/signing.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/weston-robot.gpg
   sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/weston-robot.gpg

2. Add the Weston Robot repository to your system's software repository

   main channel (the default channel for released packages)

   echo \
     "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/weston-robot.gpg] http://deb.westonrobot.net/$(lsb_release -cs) $(lsb_release -cs) main" | \
     sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weston-robot.list > /dev/null

   next channel (the channel for upcoming packages, potentially unstable)

   echo \
     "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/weston-robot.gpg] http://deb.westonrobot.net/$(lsb_release -cs) $(lsb_release -cs) next" | \
     sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weston-robot.list > /dev/null

Now you can update the index and install packages with "apt-get" command.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install <package_name>

Note: Installation of additional third-party dependency packages may be required for a package provided by Weston Robot. Please follow the package-specific instructions.
