## 1. The one-liner

```sh
curl -fsSL https://pkgs.jaque.sh/install.sh | sh
```

This adds the signing key and the repository for whichever package
manager it finds, then installs `jaque` through it. It writes nothing
that is not listed on this page.

## 2. Debian and Ubuntu

The installer runs these four commands:

```sh
curl -fsSL https://pkgs.jaque.sh/gpg.key | gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/jaque.gpg
```

```
# /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jaque.sources
Types: deb
URIs: https://pkgs.jaque.sh/apt
Suites: stable
Components: main
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/jaque.gpg
```

```sh
apt-get update
apt-get install -y jaque
```

## 3. Fedora and RHEL

```
# /etc/yum.repos.d/jaque.repo
[jaque]
name=jaque
baseurl=https://pkgs.jaque.sh/rpm
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://pkgs.jaque.sh/gpg.key
```

```sh
dnf install -y jaque
```

## 4. Verify the key

The signing key's fingerprint is:

```
8DE4 52E1 F156 DCAD 998E 0929 0ADA 1198 CE3B 4CC3
```

Compare it against what you downloaded:

```sh
curl -fsSL https://pkgs.jaque.sh/gpg.key -o gpg.key
gpg --show-keys gpg.key
```

## 5. Archives

`https://pkgs.jaque.sh/bin/vX.Y.Z/` holds one archive per architecture
(`jaque_X.Y.Z_linux_amd64.tar.gz`, `jaque_X.Y.Z_linux_arm64.tar.gz`),
`checksums.txt`, its signature bundle, and the SBOMs. Verify the
checksums file against the signature bundle before trusting anything
inside it:

```sh
cosign verify-blob --bundle checksums.txt.sigstore.json \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer https://gitlab.com \
  --certificate-identity-regexp '<release job identity>' \
  checksums.txt
```

The exact identity is printed on the release page next to the archive
you are verifying.

## 6. After installing

Edit `/etc/jaque/config.cue`, then start the service:

```sh
systemctl enable --now jaque
jaque version
```

The unit runs the binary as the `jaque` user with its environment in
`/etc/default/jaque`; state lives in `/var/lib/jaque`. See
[Operations](https://jaque.sh/docs/deployment/operations.md) for durability, backups and
upgrades.
