The repository is setup! You can now install packages.

Which packages do I install???

lnelson@rpi10:~$ apt-cache search tabby
lnelson@rpi10:~$ 

There's no package named tabby or any other version of "tabby" that I can think of. It's a regex search, so it shouldn't be too hard to find something.

lnelson@rpi10:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/eugeny_tabby.list

This is almost certainly happening because you have no pacakges availble for arm64/aarch64, but there's absolutely nothing that tells anyone that and no errors occur, leaving them very confused.

To Reproduce: Follow instructions on this page: https://packagecloud.io/eugeny/tabby/install#bash-deb

Which is linked to from the README.

Hi, The package name is: tabby-terminal

apt install tabby-terminal

This should finish your Tabby installation ;)

I entirely agree that the package name should be written at the end of the .deb script or in the readme Because for people who don't know the command: apt-cache search packageName this can completely block them from installing Tabby.

On the other hand @nelsonov, I have no idea why apt didn't return the name of the tabby package, it worked fine for me and that's how I was able to get the name of the package and finish installing tabby.
