sudo wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bedrock.list https://apt.bedrockdb.com/ubuntu/dists/$(lsb_release -cs)/bedrock.list

# Add the Bedrock repo key:
wget -O - https://apt.bedrockdb.com/bedrock.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

# Update the apt-get and install Bedrock

sudo apt-get install bedrock

# Run it (press Ctrl^C to quit, or use -fork to make it run in the backgroud)
#bedrock -fork -db prisma/bedrock.db
