ruff 0.16.3-1~bookworm for bookworm
(updated 2026-08-18) — architectures: amd64, arm64, armhf. This page is regenerated automatically from the
repository metadata, so the version above is exactly what apt install ruff gives you today.
Debian 12 “Bookworm” is the previous Debian stable release (oldstable), still widely deployed on servers and desktops. Ruff is not shipped at its latest version by the official Debian archives,
so this repository builds current upstream releases as native .deb packages targeted
specifically at bookworm, with dependencies matching what Debian 12 actually ships.
And then it keeps doing it. Every new upstream release is packaged and published
here within hours, so Ruff updates arrive the same way your system updates do — through
apt upgrade, unattended-upgrades, or whatever already runs on your machine. No release
page to watch, no version to compare, no dpkg -i to remember.
🚀 Install Ruff on bookworm
Step 1: Add the deb.griffo.io repository
sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt bookworm main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
sudo apt updateinstall -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt bookworm main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
apt update🆓 There is an always-free mirror. deb-free.griffo.io serves packages free forever — no account, no subscription, at most 2 months behind upstream, security fixes immediately. It currently carries Ghostty, Oh My Posh and Zed; Ruff is not one of them, so the repository above is the only way to get it today — ask and it can be enrolled.
The sources line above pins the bookworm suite explicitly, so it keeps working
in containers and images where lsb_release is unavailable.

❓ Frequently asked questions
Is this an official Ruff package?
No — deb.griffo.io is an unofficial repository maintained by Dario Griffo. Packages are built automatically from official upstream Ruff releases; the packaging is open source at dariogriffo/ruff-debian.
Why not install Ruff from the official Debian archive?
Debian's archive freezes package versions when a release ships and afterwards receives mostly security fixes, so fast-moving tools are either absent or several releases behind. This repository tracks upstream releases instead, with builds targeted at each Debian release.
How quickly do new Ruff releases arrive?
The repository polls upstream releases and publishes new builds automatically, typically within hours of an upstream release. Subscribe to the release feed to follow updates.
Which architectures are supported on bookworm?
ruff is currently built for: amd64, arm64, armhf.
