Raspbian Repository

The Raspbian repository is the entire set of Raspbian packages organized in a special on-line directory tree which can be used to install thousands of additional software packages on your Raspberry Pi.

The master Raspbian repository can be found at the following link:

http://archive.raspbian.org/

Mirrors of the Raspbian repository that may be more suitable for users in different geographic locations can be found here.

The /etc/apt/sources.list file contains the information needed to install additional software packages on your Raspberry Pi from the Raspbian repository. This file should contain the following information:

deb http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian wheezy main
deb-src http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian wheezy main

When using apt-get, you will want to install the Raspbian public key in your apt-get keyring. This can be done with the following command:

wget http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian.public.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -
