Mint Menu --> Package Manager --> Settings --> Repositories

If you want to do it via a GUI although you will still need to add the gpg key via terminal


The Easy Way

I add sources by typing:

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

This brings up a text document where you just paste your source repo's at the bottom and then save it

after which you type:

Code: Select all

Sudo apt-get update
you will then get an error saying that the packages are being ignored because they couldnt be authenticated or something along those lines, it will also include a 16 digit code which you use as such below

Code: Select all

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com <INSERT 16 DIGIT CODE HERE> 
So as an example it would look like:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com B530D6DCB5140445
I hope that helps, also most of these can just be Copy & Pasted in :wink:

To get the "add/remove" program that Ubuntu has run this in terminal.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install gnome-app-install
For adding keys there is a great script you can grab on this web page.
