Linux Software Repositories
Google’s Linux packages are signed with GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) keys. Google’s packages will automatically configure your package manager to verify product updates with the public signing key, but you may also install it separately if, for instance, you want to verify the integrity of an initial package download. Follow the instructions below to manually configure your package manager to use the keys.
Key Details
- Key ID: Google, Inc. (Linux Package Signing Authority)
Fingerprint: EB4C 1BFD 4F04 2F6D DDCC EC91 7721 F63B D38B 4796
Status: Active (Primary) - Key ID: Google, Inc. Linux Package Signing Key
Fingerprint: 4CCA 1EAF 950C EE4A B839 76DC A040 830F 7FAC 5991
Status: Obsolete
Command line key installation for APT
On an APT-based system (Debian, Ubuntu, etc.), download the key and then use apt to install it.
wget -q -O - https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
Recent versions of apt-get will automatically attempt to verify packages on download. If an appropriate key is not found or if the package is corrupted, you will get a message like the following:
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
packagename
Command line key installation for RPM
On an RPM-based system (Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva, RHEL, etc.), download the key and then use rpm to install it.
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
sudo rpm --import linux_signing_key.pub
You can verify the key installation by running:
NOTE: From early 2023 onward, all Linux RPM packages are signed with periodically rotated subkeys of the 0xD38B4796 signing key. The 0x7FAC5991 signing key is obsoleted by this change.
To manually verify an RPM package, you can run the command:
rpm --verbose --checksig -v packagename.rpm
