- From the desktop, launch a new terminal session by selecting: Applications > Accessories > Terminal. A new terminal window will display.
- At the prompt (the blinking cursor), type:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deja-dup-team/ppa
then press Enter. - If prompted, type the sudo password then press Enter. Ubuntu will now fetch the PPA (Personal Package Archive) key for Déjà Dup.
- Once this is complete, you should see something like:
Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv B24F18C361712E3A495E1184FEFFB8F041556EEA
If you receive an error indicating:
gpg: requesting key 41556EEA from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: key 41556EEA: "Launchpad PPA for Déjà Dup Administrators" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: unchanged: 1gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect to host
simply verify the command you entered and run it again. - Once you have successfully imported the PPA key, type
sudo apt-get update
then press Enter. - After the update is completed, you may install Déjà Dup using either Synaptic Package Manager or by typing:
sudo apt-get install deja-dup
and pressing Enter. - Once installation is complete, you may access Déjà Dup by selecting Applications > System Tools > Déjà Dup Backup Tool.
OK, great! Now, uhhh ...what do I do with it? Read on...
