sudo apt install unbound

**Important**: Download the current root hints file (the list of primary root servers which are serving the domain "." - the root domain). Update it roughly every six months. Note that this file changes infrequently.
If you are installing unbound from a package manager, it should install the `root.hints` file automatically with the dependency `dns-root-data`. The root hints will then be automatically updated by your package manager.
**Optional**: Download the current root hints file (the list of primary root servers which are serving the domain "." - the root domain). Update it roughly every six months. Note that this file changes infrequently. This is only necessary if you are not installing unbound from a package manager. If you do this optional step, you will need to uncomment the `root-hints:` configuration line in the suggested config file.
