'''1.''' Boot {{project_name_workstation_long}} (<code>{{project_name_workstation_template}}</code>) Template.
'''2.''' Add the current Debian stable backports codename <code>{{Stable_project_version_based_on_Debian_codename}}-backports</code> to Debian apt sources.
Note: this applies to {{project_name_short}} {{VersionNew}}. Later {{project_name_short}} versions may use a codename different to <code>{{Stable_project_version_based_on_Debian_codename}}</code>.
In {{project_name_workstation_short}} (<code>{{project_name_workstation_template}}</code>) Template, run.
{{CodeSelect|code=
sudo su -c "echo -e 'deb tor+
https://deb.debian.org/debian {{Stable_project_version_based_on_Debian_codename}}-backports main contrib non-free' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list"
}}
Alternatively, users who like [[Onionizing Repositories]] can set the <i>.onion</i> mirror.
{{CodeSelect|code=
sudo su -c "echo -e 'deb tor+http://{{Debian_onion}}/debian {{Stable_project_version_based_on_Debian_codename}}-backports main contrib non-free' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list"
}}
'''3.''' [[Operating_System_Software_and_Updates#Updates|Update]] the package lists.
{{CodeSelect|code=
sudo apt update
}}
'''4.''' Install the select software.
{{CodeSelect|code=
sudo apt -t {{Stable_project_version_based_on_Debian_codename}}-backports install {{{package}}}
}}
The procedure is now complete.
'''5.''' Undo.
On occasion it is necessary to undo this configuration, for example when upgrading from Debian <code>{{Stable_project_version_based_on_Debian_codename}}</code> to <code>{{Debian_Codename_Testing}}</code>. <ref>
Most often this step applies before attempting major {{project_name_short}} upgrades; upgrade instructions are also made available at that time (see [[Stay_Tuned|Stay Tuned]]).
</ref> To proceed, run.
{{CodeSelect|code=
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list
}}
