## Installing on Linux via Flathub WezTerm is available in flatpak format and published on [Flathub](https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.wezfurlong.wezterm), which is aggregated into the GNOME Software application and other similar storefront/software catalog applications. Download on Flathub To install using the command line: First, [setup flatpak on your system](https://flatpak.org/setup/), then: ```bash flatpak install flathub org.wezfurlong.wezterm ``` and then run: ```bash flatpak run org.wezfurlong.wezterm ``` You may wish to define an alias for convenience: ```bash alias wezterm=flatpak run org.wezfurlong.wezterm ``` Note: flatpaks run in a sandbox so some functionality may behave a little differently when compared to installing the native package format for your system. In particular, starting wezterm using `wezterm cli` subcommands will block on the first run since you logged in if you haven't already launched the gui. Only stable releases are allowed to be published to Flathub, so if you want/need to try a nightly download you will need to use one of the other options below. ## Installing on Linux using AppImage WezTerm is available in [AppImage](https://appimage.org/) format; a self-contained single file that doesn't require installation or any special privileges to run, and that is compatible with a wide range of Linux distributions. Download and make the file executable and you're ready to run! AppImage Nightly AppImage ```bash curl -LO {{ ubuntu18_AppImage_stable }} chmod +x {{ ubuntu18_AppImage_stable_asset }} ``` You may then execute the appimage directly to launch wezterm, with no specific installation steps required: ```bash ./{{ ubuntu18_AppImage_stable_asset }} ``` That said, you may wish to make it a bit more convenient: ```bash mkdir ~/bin mv ./{{ ubuntu18_AppImage_stable_asset }} ~/bin/wezterm ~/bin/wezterm ``` * Configuration instructions can be [found here](../config/files.html) ## Installing on Ubuntu and Debian-based Systems The CI system builds `.deb` files for a variety of Ubuntu and Debian distributions. These are often compatible with other Debian style systems; if you don't find one that exactly matches your system you can try installing one from an older version of your distribution, or use one of the Debian packages linked below. Failing that, you can try the AppImage download which should work on most Linux systems. |Distro | Stable | Nightly | |------------|------------------|---------------------| |Ubuntu18 |[{{ ubuntu18_deb_stable_asset }}]({{ ubuntu18_deb_stable }}) |[{{ ubuntu18_deb_nightly_asset }}]({{ ubuntu18_deb_nightly }})| |Ubuntu20 |[{{ ubuntu20_deb_stable_asset }}]({{ ubuntu20_deb_stable }}) |[{{ ubuntu20_deb_nightly_asset }}]({{ ubuntu20_deb_nightly }})| |Ubuntu22 |[{{ ubuntu22_deb_stable_asset }}]({{ ubuntu22_deb_stable }}) |[{{ ubuntu22_deb_nightly_asset }}]({{ ubuntu22_deb_nightly }})| |Debian10 |[{{ debian10_deb_stable_asset }}]({{ debian10_deb_stable }}) |[{{ debian10_deb_nightly_asset }}]({{ debian10_deb_nightly }})| |Debian11 |[{{ debian11_deb_stable_asset }}]({{ debian11_deb_stable }}) |[{{ debian11_deb_nightly_asset }}]({{ debian11_deb_nightly }})| To download and install from the CLI, you can use something like this, which shows how to install the Ubuntu 20 package: ```bash curl -LO {{ ubuntu20_deb_stable }} sudo apt install -y ./{{ ubuntu20_deb_stable_asset }} ``` * The package installs `/usr/bin/wezterm` and `/usr/share/applications/org.wezfurlong.wezterm.desktop` * Configuration instructions can be [found here](../config/files.html) ## Installing on Fedora and rpm-based Systems The CI system builds `.rpm` files on CentOS, Fedora and openSUSE systems. These are likely compatible with other rpm-based distributions. Alternatively, you can try the AppImage download with should work on most Linux systems. |Distro | Stable | Nightly | |------------|------------------|---------------------| |CentOS7 |[{{ centos7_rpm_stable_asset }}]({{ centos7_rpm_stable }}) |[{{ centos7_rpm_nightly_asset }}]({{ centos7_rpm_nightly }})| |CentOS8 |[{{ centos8_rpm_stable_asset }}]({{ centos8_rpm_stable }}) |[{{ centos8_rpm_nightly_asset }}]({{ centos8_rpm_nightly }})| |CentOS9 |[{{ centos9_rpm_stable_asset }}]({{ centos9_rpm_stable }})|[{{ centos9_rpm_nightly_asset }}]({{ centos9_rpm_nightly }})| |Fedora33 |[{{ fedora33_rpm_stable_asset }}]({{ fedora33_rpm_stable }}) |[{{ fedora33_rpm_nightly_asset }}]({{ fedora33_rpm_nightly }})| |Fedora34 |[{{ fedora34_rpm_stable_asset }}]({{ fedora34_rpm_stable }}) |[{{ fedora34_rpm_nightly_asset }}]({{ fedora34_rpm_nightly }})| |Fedora35 |[{{ fedora35_rpm_stable_asset }}]({{ fedora35_rpm_stable }}) |[{{ fedora35_rpm_nightly_asset }}]({{ fedora35_rpm_nightly }})| |Fedora36 |[{{ fedora36_rpm_stable_asset }}]({{ fedora36_rpm_stable }})|[{{ fedora36_rpm_nightly_asset }}]({{ fedora36_rpm_nightly }})| |openSUSE Leap |[{{ opensuse_leap_rpm_stable_asset }}]({{ opensuse_leap_rpm_stable }})|[{{ opensuse_leap_rpm_nightly_asset }}]({{ opensuse_leap_rpm_nightly }})| |openSUSE Tumbleweed |[{{ opensuse_tumbleweed_rpm_stable_asset }}]({{ opensuse_tumbleweed_rpm_stable }})|[{{ opensuse_tumbleweed_rpm_nightly_asset }}]({{ opensuse_tumbleweed_rpm_nightly }})| To download and install from the CLI you can use something like this, which shows how to install the Fedora 35 package: ```bash sudo dnf install -y {{ fedora35_rpm_stable }} ``` WezTerm is also available in the official Factory repo in openSUSE Tumbleweed. To install from Factory instead from the rpm provided by WezTerm's Github repository, you can use Yast. If you prefer the CLI, you can install it as root user with ```bash zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:Factory/standard/openSUSE:Factory.repo zypper refresh zypper install wezterm ``` * The package installs `/usr/bin/wezterm` and `/usr/share/applications/org.wezfurlong.wezterm.desktop` * Configuration instructions can be [found here](../config/files.html) ## Arch Linux WezTerm is available in the [Community repository](https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/wezterm/). The version available in the community repository may lag behind the latest wezterm release, so you may wish to use one of these AUR options: |What |Where| |---------------------|-| |Nightly Binaries || |Build from source || ## Alpine Linux APKs are built out from the `main` branch. |Version | Stable | Nightly | |--------|---------------|---------| | 3.12 |[{{ alpine3_12_apk_stable_asset }}]({{ alpine3_12_apk_stable }})|[{{ alpine3_12_apk_nightly_asset }}]({{ alpine3_12_apk_nightly }})| | 3.13 |[{{ alpine3_13_apk_stable_asset }}]({{ alpine3_13_apk_stable }})|[{{ alpine3_13_apk_nightly_asset }}]({{ alpine3_13_apk_nightly }})| | 3.14 |[{{ alpine3_14_apk_stable_asset }}]({{ alpine3_14_apk_stable }})|[{{ alpine3_14_apk_nightly_asset }}]({{ alpine3_14_apk_nightly }})| | 3.15 |[{{ alpine3_15_apk_stable_asset }}]({{ alpine3_15_apk_stable }})|[{{ alpine3_15_apk_nightly_asset }}]({{ alpine3_15_apk_nightly }})| ## Linuxbrew Tap If you are a [Linuxbrew](https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-on-Linux) user, you can install wezterm from our tap: ```bash $ brew tap wez/wezterm-linuxbrew $ brew install wezterm ``` If you'd like to use a nightly build you can perform a head install: ```bash $ brew install --HEAD wezterm ``` to upgrade to a newer nightly, it is simplest to remove then install: ```bash $ brew rm wezterm $ brew install --HEAD wezterm ``` ## Raw Linux Binary Another option for linux is a raw binary archive. These are the same binaries that are built for Ubuntu but provided in a tarball. Download raw Linux binaries Nightly raw Linux binaries
