#### Ubuntu PPA

[PPA homepage](https://launchpad.net/~twdragon/+archive/ubuntu/ipfs) on Launchpad.

##### Latest Ubuntu (>= 20.04 LTS)
```sh
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:twdragon/ipfs
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ipfs-kubo
```

##### Any Ubuntu version

```sh
sudo su
echo 'deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/twdragon/ipfs/ubuntu <<DISTRO>> main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ipfs
echo 'deb-src https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/twdragon/ipfs/ubuntu <<DISTRO>> main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ipfs
exit
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ipfs-kubo
```
where `<<DISTRO>>` is the codename of your Ubuntu distribution (for example, `jammy` for 22.04 LTS). During the first installation the package maintenance script may automatically ask you about which networking profile, CPU accounting model, and/or existing node configuration file you want to use.

**NOTE**: this method also may work with any compatible Debian-based distro which has `libc6` inside, and APT as a package manager.
