If you do not want to install an additional repository on your local machine, you may instead download

and install the .deb package using the apt or apt-get package mangers.

   $ wget https://bitbucket.org/blakeca00/buildpython3/downloads/buildpy-1.6.3_amd64.deb
   

2. Install via apt package manager:

   $ sudo apt install ./buildpy-1.6.3_amd64.deb
   

Note:

• Installation of the .deb package will also install the debian-tools repository on your local machine. If you do not want this, please comment out the single line in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-tools.list.
