# Installing on Linux

> Step-by-step installation guide for Duels+ on Linux

## Download the Launcher

We support **many** Linux distributions. Pick the method that suits you best:

### Ubuntu / Debian / Debian-based distros

1. Navigate to the [latest release](https://github.com/duelsplus/launcher-tauri/releases/latest/)
2. Under **Assets**, download the file ending in `.deb` (`Duels+.Launcher_X.X.X_amd64.deb`)

Then, run:

```bash Terminal theme={null}
sudo dpkg -i Duels+.Launcher_X.X.X_amd64.deb
```

### Arch Linux

You can use an **AUR helper** (yay/paru):

```bash Terminal theme={null}
yay -S duelsplus-bin
```

or don't:

```bash Terminal theme={null}
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/duelsplus-bin.git
cd duelsplus-bin
makepkg -si
```

### AppImage

1. Navigate to the [latest release](https://github.com/duelsplus/launcher-tauri/releases/latest/)
2. Under **Assets**, download the file ending in `.AppImage` (`Duels+.Launcher_X.X.X_amd64.AppImage`)

Then, run:

```bash Terminal theme={null}
chmod +x Duels+.Launcher_X.X.X_amd64.AppImage
```

## Open the Launcher

The package creates a `.desktop` entry, meaning you should be able to access the launcher via your **Start Menu** or **Desktop**. If not (or you prefer the terminal), you can simply run the binary:

```bash Terminal theme={null}
duelsplus-launcher
```

If you're using the `.AppImage`, then you can simply execute it:

```bash Terminal theme={null}
./Duels+.Launcher_X.X.X_amd64.AppImage
```

## Sign in

To proceed, the launcher will ask you to sign in using your Duels+ account. You can either:

* Continue using Discord
* Enter your verification token

## Launch Duels+

Finish the onboarding. Once you're in the "Home" tab, press **Launch** and the launcher will *automatically* download the latest Duels+ proxy release.
