Warning

Run the following command to import the SaltStack repository:
For Ubuntu 22.04:
mkdir /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo curl -fsSL -o /usr/share/keyrings/salt-archive-keyring.gpg https://repo.saltproject.io/py3/ubuntu/20.04/amd64/3004/salt-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/salt-archive-keyring.gpg arch=amd64] https://repo.saltproject.io/py3/ubuntu/20.04/amd64/3004 focal main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/salt.list

For earlier versions:
sudo curl -fsSL -o /usr/share/keyrings/salt-archive-keyring.gpg https://repo.saltproject.io/py3/ubuntu/20.04/amd64/latest/salt-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/salt-archive-keyring.gpg] https://repo.saltproject.io/py3/ubuntu/20.04/amd64/latest focal main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/salt.list
Tip
If you get the following error:
Skipping acquire of configured file ‘main/binary-i386/Packages’ as
repository ‘xxx’ doesn’t support architecture ‘i386’
then add arch=amd64 to the options e.g.
deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/salt-archive-keyring.gpg] https...
