+Packages
+--------
+
+We maintain packages for several releases of Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu, which can be found on repository host:
+
+* http://repo.bytemark.co.uk/byteback/
+
+You can install these by creating a file `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/byteback.list` with contents such as the following (which is for the `jessie` release of Debian):
+
+ deb http://repo.bytemark.co.uk/byteback/jessie ./
+
+Once you've created the source-file you should be able to install the package via:
+
+ apt-get update
+ apt-get install byteback
+
+If you have never installed a package from the Bytemark repository you can resolve any errors about an unknown GPG via:
+
+ wget -O - https://secure.bytemark.co.uk/key/repositories-2014.key | sudo apt-key add -
