# Install `pg_tde` on Debian or Ubuntu

The packages for the tech preview `pg_tde` are available in the experimental repository for Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL 17. 

Check the [list of supported platforms](install.md#__tabbed_1_2).

This tutorial shows how to install `pg_tde` with [Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL](https://docs.percona.com/postgresql/latest/index.html).

## Preconditions

    Install them with the following command:
    
    ```bash
    sudo apt-get install -y wget gnupg2 curl lsb-release
