📦 Install cliamp on Ubuntu 25.10 “Questing Quokka”

A retro terminal music player inspired by Winamp 2.x

← cliamp overview & all releases
📦 Currently serving: cliamp 1.63.2-1~questing for questing (updated 2026-08-23), architectures: amd64, arm64. This page is regenerated automatically from the repository metadata, so the version above is exactly what apt install cliamp gives you today.

Ubuntu 25.10 “Questing Quokka” is the current interim Ubuntu release. cliamp is not shipped at its latest version by the official Ubuntu archives, so this repository builds current upstream releases as native .deb packages targeted specifically at questing, with dependencies matching what Ubuntu 25.10 actually ships.

And then it keeps doing it. Every new upstream release is packaged and published here within hours, so cliamp updates arrive the same way your system updates do, through apt upgrade, unattended-upgrades, or whatever already runs on your machine. No release page to watch, no version to compare, no dpkg -i to remember.

🚀 Install cliamp on questing

Step 1: Add the deb.griffo.io repository

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 questing 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 questing main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
apt update

🆓 Free forever alternative. cliamp is also in the always-free mirror at deb-free.griffo.io, no account, no subscription, at most 2 months behind upstream, and security fixes published immediately. Add that repository instead of the one above:

sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb-free.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb-free.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb-free.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb-free.griffo.io/apt $(lsb_release -sc 2>/dev/null) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb-free.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
sudo apt update
install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb-free.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb-free.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb-free.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb-free.griffo.io/apt $(lsb_release -sc 2>/dev/null) main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb-free.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
apt update

How the free mirror works →

The sources line above pins the questing suite explicitly, so it keeps working in containers and images where lsb_release is unavailable.

Step 2: Install cliamp

sudo apt install -y cliamp
apt install -y cliamp

🔄 Updating

Updates arrive through normal system maintenance, new upstream releases are usually packaged within hours:

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

🗑️ Uninstalling

# optionally remove the repository as well:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
apt remove cliamp
# optionally remove the repository as well:
rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg

❓ Frequently asked questions

Is this an official cliamp package?

No, deb.griffo.io is an unofficial repository maintained by Dario Griffo. Packages are built automatically from official upstream cliamp releases; the packaging is open source at dariogriffo/cliamp-debian.

Why not install cliamp from the official Ubuntu archive?

Ubuntu's archive freezes package versions when a release ships and afterwards receives mostly security and stability fixes, so fast-moving tools are either absent or several releases behind. This repository tracks upstream releases instead, with builds targeted at each Ubuntu release.

How quickly do new cliamp releases arrive?

The repository polls upstream releases and publishes new builds automatically, typically within hours of an upstream release. Subscribe to the release feed to follow updates.

Which architectures are supported on questing?

cliamp is currently built for: amd64, arm64.
