🐍 uv PPA for Ubuntu — the APT Repository Alternative

An extremely fast Python package and project manager, written in Rust by Astral

← uv overview
🔍 Searching for a uv PPA? deb.griffo.io gives you exactly what a PPA would: apt install uv, automatic updates through apt upgrade, and builds for every current Ubuntu release — currently serving uv 0.11.28-2~noble (updated 2026-07-14). It's a plain APT repository rather than a Launchpad PPA, which means it also works identically on Debian and on Ubuntu derivatives like Mint and Pop!_OS.

⚡ Add the repository (works like add-apt-repository)

Step 1: Add repository & key

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: Install uv

sudo apt install -y uv

❓ PPA questions, answered

Is this a PPA?

Technically no — it's a plain signed APT repository, which is what a PPA is under the hood. You get the same workflow (apt install, apt upgrade) without Launchpad, and unlike a PPA it serves Debian and Ubuntu derivatives too.

Is there an official uv PPA?

The uv project does not maintain an official PPA. Community PPAs come and go and often lag behind; this repository is updated automatically within hours of each official release, and the packaging is public.

Is this repository trustworthy?

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

How fast do new releases arrive?

Typically within hours of the upstream release — usually faster than community PPAs, and years ahead of the frozen Ubuntu archive. Follow the release feed to watch updates land.
