Can't install grive

Question

I'm trying to install grive, but i recieve the following error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package grive

I ran the usual commands:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install grive

Ubuntu 17.10

Any ideas?

There is not a package listed there specifically for Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark). Possibly grive2? — stumblebee, Dec 21 '17 at 11:49

(Temporarily) Fixed it by manually installing grive, following http://yourcmc.ru/wiki/Grive2#Installation.

Still looking forwards a long-term solution, because manual installation doesn't provide automatic updates.

It's simply not a part of the official distribution, and as the website itself doesn't point to a repository, but leads you through building it yourself, there just isn't any other way. At least until you provide your own repo and keep it up-to-date.
