Description
oci is already available in the official repositories for some Linux distributions, but not for Ubuntu. For Ubuntu, we need to use a script that will download and setup on the machine, but does not provide a streamlined way of uninstalling/updating oci. For that, we need a .deb package in a PPA.
Please consider setting up a PPA for Ubuntu. UX, reliability, and security of managing packages via apt-get is way superior than using shell scripts.

Done means an Ubuntu .deb is available through a PPA and supports streamlined apt-get installation, updating, and removal.
