Installation: On Debian and Ubuntu
On Debian and Ubuntu
In Debian derived distributions, you can use the official Crystal repository.
Setup repository
First you have to add the repository to your APT configuration. For easy setup just run in your command line:
curl https://dist.crystal-lang.org/apt/setup.sh | sudo bash
That will add the signing key and the repository configuration. If you prefer to do it manually, execute the following commands as root:
apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 09617FD37CC06B54 echo "deb https://dist.crystal-lang.org/apt crystal main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/crystal.list apt-get update
Install
Once the repository is configured you're ready to install Crystal:
sudo apt-get install crystal
Upgrade
When a new Crystal version is released you can upgrade your system using:
sudo apt-get
