From Your Distribution

From IPFire

We build and sign packages of the latest version for Debian, Arch Linux, Fedora, RHEL (and AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux and the other clones) and openSUSE. They replace the packages of the distribution.

Debian

For bookworm, trixie, forky and sid, on amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, loong64, ppc64el, riscv64 and s390x, as far as the release has them:

sudo curl -o /usr/share/keyrings/libloc.asc \
	https://repo.ipfire.org/debian/libloc/master/E4D20FA6FAA108D54ABDFC6541836ADF9D5E2AD9.asc
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/libloc.asc] https://repo.ipfire.org/debian/libloc/master $(. /etc/os-release && echo $VERSION_CODENAME) main" \
	| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libloc.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install location

Arch Linux

Import and trust the key:

curl -O https://repo.ipfire.org/archlinux/libloc/master/04366A42320C4376B1C77B1711FE8DB66A724099.asc
sudo pacman-key --add 04366A42320C4376B1C77B1711FE8DB66A724099.asc
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 04366A42320C4376B1C77B1711FE8DB66A724099

And add this to /etc/pacman.conf, above the other repositories:

[libloc]
Server = https://repo.ipfire.org/archlinux/libloc/master/$arch

Fedora 44 & 45, RHEL 9 & 10

Create /etc/yum.repos.d/libloc.repo (and replace fedora with el on RHEL and its clones), and install it with dnf install libloc-tools:

[libloc]
name=libloc
baseurl=https://repo.ipfire.org/fedora/libloc/master/$releasever/
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://repo.ipfire.org/fedora/libloc/master/$releasever/RPM-GPG-KEY-libloc

openSUSE Tumbleweed & Leap 16.0

On Tumbleweed:

sudo rpm --import https://repo.ipfire.org/opensuse/libloc/master/tumbleweed/RPM-GPG-KEY-libloc
sudo zypper addrepo --gpgcheck-strict https://repo.ipfire.org/opensuse/libloc/master/tumbleweed/ libloc
sudo zypper install libloc-tools

On Leap, zypper replaces $releasever, which is why it is in single quotes:

sudo rpm --import https://repo.ipfire.org/opensuse/libloc/master/16.0/RPM-GPG-KEY-libloc
sudo zypper addrepo --gpgcheck-strict 'https://repo.ipfire.org/opensuse/libloc/master/$releasever/' libloc
sudo zypper install libloc-tools
