| 6 | |
| 7 | 2. Add the sources.list entries |
| 8 | |
| 9 | See the "Install packages" section of this page to know the entries to add: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntugis-unstable |

| 11 | '''Step 1:''' Open the file ''/etc/apt/sources.list'' with a text editor and append the entries to the file. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | '''Step 2:''' Authenticate the repository. Open your terminal and enter: |
| 14 | {{{ |
| 15 | sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 314DF160 |
