如何通过linux存储库安装我的程序（例如，使用apt-get）？

Question

I have created a program and I would like it to be installable via commands such as 'apt-get' on linux, but I have no idea where to even begin to achieve this. Could someone help and explain what I need to do to achieve this?

Thanks.

To be able to install your own package via apt-get you need to:

1. Package your application as a deb.
2. Add your package to an apt-repository.
3. Configure your distribution to use said apt-repository.

Creating a package and a repository takes a bit of work. A step by step will be quite long and depend a lot on the app your packaging. There are multiple ways of creating packages, and multiple ways of creating repositories. In general though, here are some pointers for utilities that can help you:

Creating packages:

Have a look at FPM . It's a nice and easy utility that can create packages for multiple formats, including deb. Have a look at this guide for an idea of how to use it.

Creating a repository:

I've mostly used reprepro for this in the past. Check out this guide . The above guide also includes how to use the repo after it has been published.
