## Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian

Installing this package automatically starts and runs Caddy as a [systemd service](/docs/running#linux-service) named `caddy`, and also comes with a `caddy-api` service which is _not_ enabled by default, should you need it.

Stable releases:

<pre><code class="cmd"><span class="bash">sudo apt install -y debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring apt-transport-https</span>
<span class="bash">curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/gpg.key' | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/caddy-stable-archive-keyring.gpg</span>
<span class="bash">curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/debian.deb.txt' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/caddy-stable.list</span>
<span class="bash">sudo apt update</span>
<span class="bash">sudo apt install caddy</span></code></pre>

Testing releases (includes betas and release candidates):

<pre><code class="cmd"><span class="bash">sudo apt install -y debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring apt-transport-https</span>
<span class="bash">curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/testing/gpg.key' | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/caddy-testing-archive-keyring.gpg</span>
<span class="bash">curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/testing/debian.deb.txt' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/caddy-testing.list</span>
<span class="bash">sudo apt update</span>
<span class="bash">sudo apt install caddy</span></code></pre>
