Unable to install k6 on Ubuntu

Hi,

I’m following the installation instructions:

And have also installed ca-certificates and gnupg2, but I’m still getting the package not found error:

E: Unable to locate package k6

ca-certificates is already the newest version (20210119~16.04.1).
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
devio
Use ‘sudo apt autoremove’ to remove it.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Hi @larchie,

as per the message

N: Skipping acquire of configured file ‘main/binary-arm64/Packages’ as repository ‘k6 Packages stable InRelease’ doesn’t support architecture ‘arm64’

the k6 repos do not support arm64. We do build arm64 so it should be fairly easy to also have them in repos so I’ve opened an issue, until then you can use the binaries from the release page.
