Note: Installing Keybase will add our package repository, so that your system updates will update the Keybase package too. If you want to prevent that, run sudo touch /etc/default/keybase before installing.

Note: if your apt version is below 1.1, you won't be able to install the package using the above instructions. Instead, do

# if you see an error about missing `libappindicator1` from the next
# command, you can ignore it, as the subsequent command corrects it
sudo dpkg -i keybase_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
