I am trying to download the percona repository to enable pbm backup but it’s failing with following error.

sudo dpkg -i percona-release\_latest.generic\_all.deb  
(Reading database … 92590 files and directories currently installed.)  
Preparing to unpack percona-release\_latest.generic\_all.deb …  
Unpacking percona-release (1.0-27.generic) over (1.0-27.generic) …

**Specified repository does not exist: [Percona Repo](http://repo.percona.com/percona/)**  
**Specified repository does not exist: [Percona Repo](http://repo.percona.com/prel/)**  
The percona-release package now contains a percona-release script that can enable additional repositories for our newer products.

For example, to enable the Percona Server 8.0 repository use:

percona-release setup ps80

Hi @Dhwani

Could you exec the next command on the server?

```auto
ping repo.percona.com

```

Hi  
I was able to install that . there was minor correction in the command i had to try. The install command worked without SUDO…

Thank You for your prompt response.
