# apt
Use the `apt` InSpec audit resource to verify Apt repositories on the Debian and Ubuntu platforms, and also PPA repositories on the Ubuntu platform.
<br>
## Syntax

describe apt('path') do
it { should exist }
it { should be_enabled }
end
where
* `apt('path')` must specify an Apt or PPA repository
* `('path')` may be an `http://` address, a `ppa:` address, or a short `repo-name/ppa` address
* `exist` and `be_enabled` are a valid matchers for this resource
<br>
