On any host where you install Arvados software, you'll need to add the Arvados package repository.  They're available for several popular distributions.

* "Centos 7":#centos7
* "Debian and Ubuntu":#debian

h3(#centos7). CentOS

Packages are available for CentOS 7. To install them with yum, save this configuration block in @/etc/yum.repos.d/arvados.repo@:

<notextile>
<pre><code>[arvados]
name=Arvados
baseurl=http://rpm.arvados.org/CentOS/$releasever/os/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://rpm.arvados.org/CentOS/RPM-GPG-KEY-arvados
</code></pre>
</notextile>

{% include 'gpg_key_fingerprint' %}

h3(#debian). Debian and Ubuntu

Packages are available for recent versions of Debian and Ubuntu.

First, register the Arvados signing key in apt's database:

{% include 'install_debian_key' %}

{% include 'gpg_key_fingerprint' %}

As root, add the Arvados package repository to your sources.  This command depends on your OS vendor and version:

table(table table-bordered table-condensed).
