Debian / Ubuntu OS

Debian / Ubuntu Installation

Some additional steps are required prior to N2IWF component installation on Ubuntu systems and other Debian-based platforms.

N-Squared Package Repository

N-Squared provides a Debian repository that is used to provide a number of dependencies that are otherwise not available through standard channels (particularly the N-Squared proprietary packages).

Access to this repository is password-protected. Please contact N-Squared if such access is required for your installation.

Once access is given, get the N-Squared GPG key and store it:

wget -qO - https://nsquared.nz/DEB-GPG-KEY-nsquaredsoftware.pub |  sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/nsquaredsoftware.asc

Create the N-Squared sources list:

echo "deb https://artefacts.nsquared.nz/apt/repo/ubuntu jammy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nsquared.list

Create your site-specific APT credentials, updating the USERNAME and PASSWORD placeholder values to those provided by N-Squared:

sudo cat << EOF >> /etc/apt/auth.conf
machine artefacts.nsquared.nz
login USERNAME
password PASSWORD
EOF

Note that organisational security or operational guidelines may require this repository to be accessed through a local satellite repository, rather than directly as shown here. In such cases please consult with your IT infrastructure team.
