Tutorial for: amd64

To use Freesh first check for a compatible architecture:

dpkg --print-architecture

You should see:

amd64

If you have a compatible architecture first download the archive keyring package:

wget https://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/freesh/pool/main/f/freesh-archive-keyring/freesh-archive-keyring_1.1_all.deb

This archive keyring package installs the GPG public keys for Jason Self and Alexandre Oliva in /usr/share/keyrings/freesh-archive-keyring, the repository configuration in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freesh.sources, and the apt preferences files in /etc/apt/preferences.d/freesh.pref.

At this point you may, at your option, inspect the archive keyring package to your satisfaction with commands such as:

dpkg -c freesh-archive-keyring_1.1_all.deb

Install it:

sudo dpkg -i freesh-archive-keyring_1.1_all.deb

You can also check that the right keys are installed:

gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/freesh-archive-keyring.gpg --list-keys

Make sure that you see the fingerprints:

F611 A908 FFA1 65C6 9958 4ED4 9D0D B31B 545A 3198

A8CA A4A2 EB65 5D07 BA1F 367B C338 CAA4 FA70 0A3A

Remove the temporary copy:

rm freesh-archive-keyring_1.1_all.deb

Now you will now be able to update your package manager and install Linux-libre:

sudo apt update

Next, decide what you want to do:

Short-term or long-term support?

Short-term support (STS) versions provides all of the latest changes and features but are only supported for about 2-3 months so you're upgrading to new a new stable version more often.

Long-term support (LTS) versions are suported for at least 2 years but won't necessarily have the latest stuff. If you want to use Linux-libre and prefer a kernel that isn't changing as much, the long-term versions are probably what you want.

If you want the latest kernel version:

sudo apt install linux-libre

If you want to use a long-term support (LTS) kernel version:

sudo apt install linux-libre-lts

After Restart system, Linux-Libre Freesh (STS) will be fully installed.
