2. Create a configuration file to point ``apt`` to the right repository for your system:

   .. code-block:: shell

     printf -- "deb [arch=%s, signed-by=%s] %s %s main\n" \
       $(dpkg --print-architecture) \
       /usr/share/keyrings/rti-official-archive.gpg \
       https://packages.rti.com/deb/official \
       $(. /etc/os-release && echo ${VERSION_CODENAME}) |
       sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rti.list >/dev/null

3. Update the local ``apt`` cache:

   .. code-block:: shell

     sudo apt-get update
