You can install the latest release (1.8.0) of the newt tool by downloading and installing a binary executable (amd64). You can also download
and build the latest release version of newt from source.

This page shows you how to:

1. Set up your computer to download Debian binary packages from the JuulLabs-OSS APT repository.
1. Install the latest release version of newt by manually downloading and installing the binary executable.

**Note:** The key for signing the repository has changed. If you set up your computer before release 1.1.0, you will
need to download and import the public key again.
2. Download, build, and install the latest release version of newt from source.

2. Install the latest release version of newt from a Debian binary package. You can use apt-get to install the package
or manually download and install the Debian binary package.

3. Download, build, and install the latest release version of newt from source.

If you are installing on an amd64 platform, we recommend that you install from the binary package.
If you are installing on an amd64 platform, we recommend that you install the binary executable.

See :doc:`prev_releases` to install an earlier version of newt.

**Note:** We have tested the newt tool binary and apt-get install from the JuulLabs-OSS APT repository for Ubuntu version
1704. Earlier Ubuntu versions (for example: Ubuntu 14) may have incompatibility with the repository. You can manually
download and install the Debian binary package.

**Note:** See :doc:`../../misc/go_env` if you want to:

- Use the newt tool with the latest updates from the master branch. The master branch may be unstable and we recommend
that you use the latest stable release version.
- Contribute to the newt tool.

Setting Up Your Computer to use apt-get to Install the Package
Installing the Latest Release of Newt
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The newt Debian packages are stored in a private APT repository on **https://github.com/JuulLabs-OSS/debian-mynewt**.
To use apt-get, you must set up the following on your computer to retrieve packages from the repository:

**Note**: You only need to perform this setup once on your computer. However, if you previously downloaded and imported
the public key for the JuulLabs-OSS APT repository, you will need to perform step 2 again as the key has changed.

1. Download the public key for the JuulLabs-OSS APT repository and import the key into the apt keychain.
2. Add the repository for the binary and source packages to the apt source list.

Download the public key for the JuulLabs-OSS apt repo (**Note:** There is a ``-`` after ``apt-key add``):

.. code-block:: console

$ wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JuulLabs-OSS/debian-mynewt/master/mynewt.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

Add the repository for the binary and source packages to the ``mynewt.list`` apt source list file:

.. code-block:: console

$ sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mynewt.list <<EOF
deb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JuulLabs-OSS/debian-mynewt/master latest main
EOF

**Note:** Previously the repository lived under ``runtimeco/debian-mynewt``, and although
updating should remain working, if it stops pulling in the latest releases, please try updating
``/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mynewt.list`` and substitute ``runtimeco`` by ``JuulLabs-OSS``.

Update the available packages:

.. code-block:: console

$ sudo apt-get update

**Note:** If you are not using Ubuntu version 1704, you may see the following errors. We have provided instructions on
how to manually download and install the binary package.

.. code-block:: console
#. Download and unpack the newt binary executable.

Installing the Latest Release of Newt from a Binary Package
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can use either apt-get to install the package, or manually download and install the Debian binary package.

Method 1: Using apt-get to Upgrade or to Install
==============================================================================================

Run the following commands to upgrade or install the latest version of newt:

.. code-block:: console

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install newt

**Note:** If you encounter build errors (such as missing ``sys/mman.h``), please make sure you have a 32-bit glibc:

.. code-block:: console

$ sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib
.. code-block:: console

Method 2: Downloading and Installing the Debian Package Manually
==============================================================================================
$ wget -P /tmp https://downloads.apache.org/mynewt/apache-mynewt-1.8.0/apache-mynewt-newt-bin-linux-1.8.0.tgz
$ tar -xzf /tmp/apache-mynewt-newt-bin-linux-1.8.0.tgz

Download and install the package manually.
#. Move the executable to /usr/bin or a directory in your PATH:

.. code-block:: console
.. code-block:: console

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JuulLabs-OSS/binary-releases/master/mynewt-newt-tools_1.5.0/newt_1.5.0-1_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i newt_1.5.0-1_amd64.deb
$ mv /tmp/apache-mynewt-newt-bin-linux-1.8.0/newt /usr/bin

See `Checking the Installed Version of Newt`_ to verify that you are using the installed version of newt.
