Problem:
### Installation from DEBs
#### Step 1: setup apt repositories
Since Foreman 1.3 the hammer packages are part of your installation repo.
It is only necessary to setup apt repositories if you are installing Hammer separatly from Foreman.
You can choose from a specific version or nightly repo.
Nightly has more recent version of hammer packages that have only had limited testing so there is a higher risk of issues.
Here are a few examples for combinations of Linux-distributions and Foreman releases.
Remember to adjust these as necessary, visit http://deb.theforeman.org/ for up to date information.
##### Ubuntu Focal (20.04) with Foreman 3.10
```bash
mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
wget -qO- https://deb.theforeman.org/foreman.asc > /etc/apt/keyrings/foreman.asc
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/foreman.asc] http://deb.theforeman.org/ focal 3.10" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/foreman.list
```

@evgeni do you know why we don’t package hammer-cli-katello for Debian? My initial reaction was that it’s because we don’t package Katello for Debian, but hammer-cli-katello is separate from Katello anyway.

Sure, but that’s still the reason.
Or more so: nobody did it / seen the benefit in doing so.

Perhaps it’s worth a packaging redmine at least.

Ain’t nobody looking for those.
If you want, we can do a short Debian packaging session next week and you’re on the hook for katello on Debian;)

That would make for a nice community demo!
