# adding repositories

the file with the list of repository links is located in `/etc/qulay/repositories.uz` (it's not UzbekDB file). to add a repository, you need to open this file and add a line with a link, for example:
```
http://127.0.0.1:8000/releases/core.tar.zst
https://codeberg.org/UzbekLinux/qulay-pkgs/releases/download/latest/halal.tar.zst
```
you must provide a link specifically to the release Zstd archive.

update in qulay after adding repositories urls:
```
qulay u
```
qulay will download tar.zst file and extract it to `/var/lib/qulay/repos/` folder.
