Can't find gitlab-ci-multi-runner package

Question

I'm trying to install gitlab-ci-multi-runner on ElementaryOS Freya , but having no success.

I've correctly follow the steps in official documentation:

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ci-multi-runner/blob/master/docs/install/linux-repository.md#install-using-official-gitlab-repositories

The answer always is:

luiz@kryptonita:~/node/my-nodejs-app$ sudo apt-get install gitlab-ci-multi-runner
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package gitlab-ci-multi-runner

To understand: I'm trying to set up a Runner to test a Node.js "Hello World". I'm studying this technology.

EDIT: Result of cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/runner_gitlab-ci-multi-runner.list

Indeed they do not have repos for elementary os freya. I see two possible solutions:

Method 1: Using Ubuntu Repos

Now, I'm not sure this procedure works, but since freya is bases on Ubuntu 14.04, I think you can use trusty's repo.

Careful this can potentially breaks things and dependencies, I have not tested it.

Edit the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/runner_gitlab-ci-multi-runner.list file:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/runner_gitlab-ci-multi-runner.list

Delete all and add

deb https://packages.gitlab.com/runner/gitlab-ci-multi-runner/ubuntu/ trusty main
deb-src https://packages.gitlab.com/runner/gitlab-ci-multi-runner/ubuntu/ trusty main

Then do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gitlab-ci-multi-runner

In this way you have automatic updates.

Method 2: Manually download the package

If you prefer to do not add a PPA studied for another distro, just download the package from the website ( here a list of the packages ). but in this way you have to manually update the program each time!

Otherwise you can use docker/lxc/virtualbox to install Ubuntu (or Fedora or whatever is official supported) and use it

Answer 2

Only this worked for me:

curl -s https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/runner/gitlab-ci-multi-runner/script.deb.sh | sudo bash

From: https://packages.gitlab.com/runner/gitlab-ci-multi-runner/install
