APT Repository For Godot

Showcase Applications
,
1

I just made an APT repository (repo.aplyet.com/apt), where you can install Godot through a custom built .deb package packaged automatically by a script

The package will update on every stable release of godot (Including C# support), so no Linux user has to worry about updating godot manually

Application shortcuts are also bundled inside the package, for ease of access

Compatibility

This will most likely work on these Linux Distributions

  • Ubuntu

  • Debian (Verified)

  • Linux Mint

  • Pop!_OS

  • KDE neon

  • Kali Linux

Distributions that are not highlighted with bold are not verified, and they are based solely on predictions (They will still probably work), you can tell me if it works on your distribution down below in the comments

All architectures supported by Godot are also supported by this package too (includes amd64, amd32, arm64, arm32), both on mono and stable versions of Godot

Why trust this repository

Entire process is open-source

There is no reason to keep it closed source

Here are the repositories involved:

Packager:

Update Checker:

No Man-in-the-Middle attacks :key:

The repository is signed with GPG keys, so you can be sure about the authenticity of the packages, and have not been tampered by an external source

Installation Steps

NOTE: These steps have been tested on debian, and will probably work on debian-based distros too, please cross check with your distribution

curl -fsSL https://repo.aplyet.com/apt/gpg.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/aplyet-archive-keyring.gpg > /dev/null
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/aplyet-archive-keyring.gpg lang=none] https://repo.aplyet.com/apt /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/aplyet.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install godot

or

sudo apt install godot-mono

for the Godot mono version

NOTE: You MUST have .NET 8.0 installed on you machine for Godot Mono to work (Get it here)

I hope this is a useful resource to the community, and provide more options to installing and updating Godot on the Linux Ecosystem

APT repository is proudly hosted with Gemfury

PS: The GitHub repository will scan the Godot Engine source code for updates every 2-3 hours

Let me know what should I work on next in this repository!
