Pick the Presage apt repository and suite that match your host:

- [**Ubuntu 22.04 / Mint 21**](ubuntu-22-04.md) — `jammy` suite, `amd64` and `arm64`.
- [**Ubuntu 24.04 / Mint 22**](ubuntu-24-04.md) — `noble` suite, `amd64` and `arm64`.
- [**Debian 13 / Trixie**](debian-13.md) — `trixie` suite, `amd64` and `arm64`.

Each guide is end-to-end: prerequisites, repository setup, a minimal CMake
project, headless-host behavior, and the advanced apt workflows (RC
channel, pinning, uninstall) for that suite.
