I would like to install INDILib on my Debian Intel laptop (64 bit). This is running Debian 10.0 "stable".

I tried the install process for Ubuntu (which normally works for other applications) but get this...

phil@phil-astro-laptop:~$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mutlaqja/ppa
Latest INDI Library and drivers!

This PPA is for stable Ekos & INDI drivers releases.

What am I missing - should there be something else installed first?
