How to install sphinx

Do I just put the login name and password sent to me by email into the following “myuser” and “mypassword”?

$ echo “deb ftp://myuser:mypassword@ftp2.parrot.biz/deb/ $(lsb_release -cs)/” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apt.parrot.biz.list $ curl -fsSL ftp://myuser:mypassword@ftp2.parrot.biz/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

If this method is correct, you will get the following error.

$ curl: (28) server response timeout
$ gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

Hi,

please note that these are 2 different commands, and the user and password (myuser:mypassword) must be replaced in both commands:

$ echo “deb ftp://myuser:mypassword@ftp2.parrot.biz/deb/ $(lsb_release -cs)/” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apt.parrot.biz.list

and

$ curl -fsSL ftp://myuser:mypassword@ftp2.parrot.biz/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

Thanks for the reply.

However, typing the following command does not work for me.
When I type the first one, I get the following output. (I have changed myuser and mypassword)
deb ftp://myuser:mypassword@ftp2.parrot.biz/deb/ focal/

And when I type the second one, I get
curl: (28) server response timeout
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found

Can you tell me what is causing this? I thought the connection to the server was wrong, but the file manager confirmed the connection.

I’m running on Ubuntu 20.04 using VirtualBox.
