Unofficial Precompiled Packages

These are unofficial packages that are not maintained by the official mechanisms of the upstream distribution; we are trying to get more recent versions of Bcfg2 into distributions, but often you will need to use one of these.

Ubuntu Packages (Launchpad Bcfg2 PPA)

Made by the ​Bcfg2 in Launchpad team.

Testing Releases

These releases are volitile and may sometimes be broken. You shouldn't automatically update production systems against them.

After making the appropriate one of the below your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bcfg2.list file, do:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 98932BEC
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install bcfg2

And if you also want the server:

sudo aptitude install bcfg2-server
