Installation from the EverTrust repository

  • RHEL

  • Debian

Create a /etc/yum.repos.d/tinkey.repo file containing the EverTrust repository info:

[tinkey]
enabled=1
name=Tinkey Repository
baseurl=https://repo.evertrust.io/repository/tinkey-rpm/
gpgcheck=0
username=<username>
password=<password>

Replace <username> and <password> with the credentials you were provided.

You can then run the following to install the latest Tinkey version:

# yum install tinkey

To prevent unattended upgrades when running yum update, you should pin the Tinkey version by adding

exclude=tinkey

at the end of the /etc/yum.repos.d/tinkey.repo file after installing Tinkey.

If you haven’t already, to add the EVERTRUST repository to your APT repositories, run the following commands:

  1. Install the required tools (gpg)

    # sudo apt install gnupg
  2. Download and install the EVERTRUST GPG key

    # curl https://evertrust.io/.well-known/apt/gpg.pub | sudo gpg -o /usr/share/keyrings/evertrust.gpg --dearmor
  3. Add the repository

    # echo "deb [ arch=all signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/evertrust.gpg ] https://repo.evertrust.io/repository/apt all main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/evertrust.list

Once the repository has been added, authentication to it must be provided. To do so, edit the /etc/apt/auth.conf file and add the following lines:

machine repo.evertrust.io
login <your EVERTRUST login>
password <your EVERTRUST password>

Once the repository has been added, run the following command to update the APT repository list.

# sudo apt update

You can then run the following command to install the latest Tinkey version:

# sudo apt install tinkey
