Editing Plex Media Server - Debian (section)

== Installation ==

Plex Media Server is not available in the official Debian package repository. We’ll be using the Plex official repository. Start by importing the repository’s GPG key using the following curl command:

 sudo apt install curl
 curl <nowiki>https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-keys/PlexSign.key</nowiki> | sudo apt-key add -

Add the Plex APT repository to your system’s software repository list by issuing:

 echo deb <nowiki>https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb</nowiki> ./public main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list

Once the Plex repository is enabled, update the apt package list and install the latest version of the Plex Media Server with:

 sudo apt install apt-transport-https
 sudo apt update
 sudo apt install plexmediaserver

The Plex service will start automatically. To verify that the installation was successful and SSH service is running type the following command which will print the Plex server status:

 sudo systemctl status plexmediaserver

The output should look something like this:
