Perform the following steps to install yb-voyager using apt for Ubuntu:

Note

`apt` installation is only supported for Ubuntu 22. For other versions such as 18 and 20, use the install script via the Source installation option.

1. Install the Yugabyte apt repository on your machine using the following command:
   
   ```sh
   wget https://software.yugabyte.com/repos/reporpms/yb-apt-repo_1.0.0_all.deb
   sudo apt-get install ./yb-apt-repo_1.0.0_all.deb
   ```
   
   This repository contains the `yb-voyager` Debian package and the dependencies required to run `yb-voyager`.
2. Install the `postgresql-common` repository to fetch PostgreSQL 16 using the following commands:
   
   ```sh
   sudo apt install -y postgresql-common
   sudo /usr/share/postgresql-common/pgdg/apt.postgresql.org.sh
   ```
3. Clean the `apt-get` cache and package lists using the following commands:
   
   ```sh
   sudo apt-get clean
   sudo apt-get update
   ```
4. Install yb-voyager and its dependencies using the following command:
   
   ```sh
   sudo apt-get install yb-voyager
   ```
   
   Note: If you see a failure in the install step similar to the following:
   
   ```output
   Depends: ora2pg (= 23.2-yb.2) but 24.3-1.pgdg22.04+1 is to be installed
   ```
   
   Try installing ora2pg using the following command:
   
   ```sh
   sudo apt-get install ora2pg=23.2-yb.2
   ```
   
   Then try installing yb-voyager using the following command:
   
   ```sh
   sudo apt-get install yb-voyager
   ```
5. Check that yb-voyager is installed using the following command:
   
   ```sh
   yb-voyager version
   ```
