Automatic Installation
The easiest way to install Shadow for Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions is to download and install the .deb package (64-bit), either through the graphical software center if it's available, or through the command line.
Installing the .deb package will automatically install the apt repository and signing key to enable auto-updating using the system's package manager.

Method 2: Use the command line
If you are using a recent Linux distribution:
sudo apt install ./shadow-prod.deb
