Official install not working for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Here’s the hacky workaround if you’re not using ansible and just installing it manually.

Manually add the repository for jammy:

echo "deb https://packagecloud.io/sensu/stable/ubuntu/ jammy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sensu.list

If the directory /etc/apt/keyrings does not already exist, create it:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings

Download and add the Sensu GPG key:

curl -fsSL https://packagecloud.io/sensu/stable/gpgkey | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/sensu.gpg

Create a file to configure the GPG key:

echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/sensu.gpg] https://packagecloud.io/sensu/stable/ubuntu/ jammy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sensu.list

Update your package lists:

sudo apt-get update -y

Now try to install Sensu:

sudo apt-get install -y sensu-go-agent
