    Installation

    Install Baluard from the signed package repositories or direct downloads.

    Baluard is in beta. The current release is 0.1.0 for Linux desktop, with browser extensions and mobile builds in development.

    Debian and Ubuntu (APT)

    The apt repository uses the deb822 format (default on Ubuntu 24.04+ and Debian 13+). The armored key is used directly, no dearmor step:

    sudo curl -fsSL -o /usr/share/keyrings/baluard-archive-keyring.asc https://baluard.app/repo/baluard-release.asc
curl -fsSL https://baluard.app/repo/baluard.sources | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/baluard.sources
sudo apt update && sudo apt install baluard

    Fedora (DNF)

    Fedora 41+ with dnf 5:

    sudo dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://baluard.app/repo/baluard.repo
sudo dnf install baluard

    On RHEL and clones (dnf 4), add the repository with:

    sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=https://baluard.app/repo/baluard.repo

    Direct download

    Signed release artifacts (AppImage, Windows installer, and source) are on the GitHub releases page.
