+Please note that whenever you add a new deb file in this repository, you should run the above command to create catalog file.
+Done! We created the catalog file.
+===== Configure Server sources list =====
+After creating the catalog file, go to your server(local) system. Open /etc/apt/sources.list file.
+<code bash>

+</code>
+Here is my Debian 8 server (Repository server) /etc/apt/sources.list file contents.
+<code bash>
+cat /etc/apt/sources.list
+</code>
+==== Sample output: ====
+<code bash>

+===== Testing Repository =====
+I am going to install vsftpd package from my local repository.
+<code bash>
+apt-get install vsftpd

+As you seen in the above output, i will able to install vsftpd package from my local repository.
+===== Configure Clients =====
+After creating the catalog file, go to your client systems. Open /etc/apt/sources.list file.
+<code bash>
+sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
+</code>
+Add the server repository location as shown below. Comment out all sources list except the local repository.
+<code bash>
+deb http://192.168.1.150/packages/amd64/ /
+</code>
+For 32 bit systems:
+<code bash>
+deb http://192.168.1.150/packages/i386/ /
+</code>
+Note: Put a space between deb and http://192.168.1.150/packages/amd64/ and /.
+That’s it. Now run,
+<code bash>
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install <package-name>
+</code>
+You will be able to install, update and upgrade packages from your local Debian server repository without Internet Connection.
+That’s all for now. Cheers!
