Ubuntu Trinity Repository Installation Instructions

Ubuntu Trinity Repository Installation Instructions

1. Ensure the Ubuntu Universe and Multiverse repositories are available for use

As root (e.g. using sudo), uncomment (remove the # marks from) the lines of your /etc/apt/sources.list file that include Universe and Multiverse
If your system does not contain entries for Universe and Multiverse, append " universe multiverse" to your main Ubuntu repository line
Alternatively, you may use graphical tools or other tutorials to enable the Universe and Multiverse repositories--the exact method of enabling is not important to the TDE installation process

2. Ensure the Ubuntu Recommended Updates repository is available for use

As root (e.g. using sudo), uncomment (remove the # marks from) the lines of your /etc/apt/sources.list file that include -updates
If your system does not contain entries for -updates, copy your main Ubuntu repository line to the end of the /etc/apt/sources.list file and append -updates to the distribution name
Alternatively, you may use graphical tools or other tutorials to enable the Recommended Updates repository--the exact method of enabling is not important to the TDE installation process

3. Add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file
