Install on Linux

One-line install

The quickest route detects your package manager, installs the signed package, and registers the desktop entry:

curl -fsSL https://app.chudware.com/install.sh | sh -s -- --token <token>

The token is personal and expires after 15 minutes. Sign in at app.chudware.com, open the download page, and it issues one alongside this same command, ready to paste.

Packages and archives

Every format is issued from the same download page:

• .deb — Debian and Ubuntu; installs with apt and removes cleanly.
• .rpm — Fedora, RHEL, and openSUSE; installs with dnf or zypper.
• AppImage — one portable file with nothing to install; make it executable and run it.
• .tar.zst — plain archive for any distribution; unpack and run from anywhere.

The .deb and .rpm packages install to /opt/chudware, put a chudware command on your PATH, and register the desktop entry and icons.

The build is 64-bit and needs a graphics driver capable of a modern hardware-accelerated 3D context; without one the application does not start.

Do not install a package presented as an official Chudware release from a third-party source; the download page in your account is the only official source.

Or skip the install

The browser client requires no desktop installation. Create an account to use Chudware from a tab.
