Install paths

Install by conversion bundle or signed APT repository.

The public conversion bundle is still the first-time AMBROSO path. The live APT repo is the update and package-management backbone.

Path A

Public AMBROSO conversion bundle

Verify, extract and review the public conversion bundle before granting root privileges.

gpg --import sentinelos-release-key.asc
gpg --verify SentinelOS_Public_v1_AMBROSO_conversion_bundle.zip.sha256.asc SentinelOS_Public_v1_AMBROSO_conversion_bundle.zip.sha256
sha256sum -c SentinelOS_Public_v1_AMBROSO_conversion_bundle.zip.sha256
unzip SentinelOS_Public_v1_AMBROSO_conversion_bundle.zip
cd SentinelOS_Public_v1_AMBROSO_conversion_bundle
less README_SentinelOS_Public_v1_AMBROSO.md

Path B

Add the public APT repository manually

Use this path on an existing Debian/SentinelOS install to enable Sentinel package installs and updates.

curl -fsSL https://repo.sentinellinux.org/keys/sentinelos-archive-key.asc \
  | gpg --dearmor \
  | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/sentinelos-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sentinelos-archive-keyring.gpg] https://repo.sentinellinux.org stable main" \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sentinelos.list

sudo apt update

Install packages

Install through apt or the Sentinel GUI.

After apt sees the repo, install packages from the terminal or use Sentinel Program Manager as the user-facing package interface.

apt-cache policy sentinelos-public-converter
apt-cache search ^sentinel | sort
sudo apt install sentinel-program-manager
sudo apt install sentinel-browser

Safety note: read Install Safety and Known Issues before running the conversion installer. The APT repository is for packages and updates; it is not a replacement for a system backup.
