The Basho Apt Repository doesn't provide packages for Quantal (12.10) and hence it is returning 403 Forbidden Errors. You can verify it by going to http://apt.basho.com/dists, as you can see that the directory for quantal is not present.

Basho Apt Repository

So, the best option before you is to install Riak from Source. Follow the instructions mentioned on their Official Website.

Installing Riak from Source

I am summarizing the installation instructions for you here. Open your Terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T). Then follow as below:

Install dependencies for Riak:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libc6-dev-i386 git

Install Erlang from Source:

Get the necessary development libraries:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libncurses5-dev openssl libssl-dev

Download and build Erlang:

wget http://erlang.org/download/otp_src_R15B01.tar.gz
tar zxvf otp_src_R15B01.tar.gz
cd otp_src_R15B01
./configure && make && sudo make install

Download and install Riak:

wget http://downloads.basho.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/riak/1.3/1.3.0/riak-1.3.0.tar.gz
tar zxvf riak-1.3.0.tar.gz
cd riak-1.3.0
make rel

If the build was successful, a fresh build of Riak will exist in the rel/riak directory.

Building from source is not the problem. I'd like to be able to install a package because it simplifies installing riak via Puppet on all the nodes of my cluster. — Eric Turner, Mar 10, 2013 at 0:50
On the instructions it says that for non LTS releases it's safe to use the same instructions as the previous LTS release. So this should be possible? — giovannibotta, Mar 4, 2014 at 18:24
@giovannibotta Yes.. You should be able to build from source without any problems. — Aditya, Mar 4, 2014 at 18:27

Aditya's answer is good, but if you really want a package you can build your own .deb and install it using dpkg. Start by following Aditya's instructions for getting dependencies (e.g. erlang). Then:

Clone the riak source code

git clone git://github.com/basho/riak.git

Build
```
cd riak
make package RELEASE=1
```

Install

sudo dpkg -i package/packages/riak_1.3.0rc2-f87560a7-1_i386.deb

The name of your .deb file will probably be different than mine.
