📦 apt install atuin

{IF_ARCHIVED}Official Debian ships Atuin {ARCHIVE_VERSION} — this repo has Atuin {VERSION}. One apt command for Bookworm, Trixie, Forky and Sid; GPG-signed, rebuilt within hours of every release.{ELSE_ARCHIVED}Atuin isn't in the official Debian archives — get Atuin {VERSION} via apt for Bookworm, Trixie, Forky and Sid. GPG-signed, rebuilt within hours of every release.{END_ARCHIVED}

⚡ The short answer. On a stock system apt install atuin works, but installs a frozen version (Debian ships 18.6.1, Ubuntu ships 18.8.0) rather than the current 18.19.0. Add the deb.griffo.io repository below and sudo apt install atuin gives you the current release on Debian and Ubuntu alike — currently atuin 18.19.0 (updated 2026-08-17).

📦 Add the repository, then apt install atuin

Step 1: Add repository & key

Run the commands
sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
sudo apt update
install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt $(lsb_release -sc) main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
apt update

Step 2: apt install atuin

sudo apt install -y atuin
apt install -y atuin

🔄 How to apt install the latest atuin

Once the repository is added there is no separate "install latest" command — apt already resolves to the newest version this repository serves, and that is rebuilt within hours of every upstream atuin release. To move an existing install up to the latest version:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade atuin
apt update && apt install --only-upgrade atuin

Or upgrade everything on the machine at once with sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade. To see which version you would get before installing, run apt policy atuin.

❓ Common questions

Does apt-get install atuin work too?

Yes. apt and apt-get read the same sources, so sudo apt-get install atuin is equivalent. apt is the friendlier front-end; apt-get is the stable one to prefer inside scripts.

Why doesn't apt install atuin work out of the box?

It does work, but not with the version most people want: Debian ships 18.6.1, Ubuntu ships 18.8.0, because Debian and Ubuntu freeze package versions when a release ships and afterwards take mostly security fixes. This repository tracks upstream atuin releases instead, rebuilding within hours of each one.

Which Debian and Ubuntu releases are supported?

Every currently supported release listed in the table above. The $(lsb_release -sc) in the setup command picks the right suite for the machine you run it on, so the same three lines work everywhere.

Is this repository trustworthy?

It's an unofficial repository maintained by Dario Griffo. Packages are built automatically from official upstream atuin releases, the packaging is open source at dariogriffo/atuin-debian, and the whole archive is GPG-signed. Several upstream projects link to it from their official installation docs.
