RetroShare

ALT Linux

Retroshare is independently maintained on ALT Linux.

Android

We maintain an experimental RetroShare for Android package on F-Droid which only provides chat.

Android experts may also be interested in trying development snapshots from the RetroShare Android builds by G10h4ck channel to give us feedback and hopefully submit patches. We strongly discourage the usage of development snapshots on a non development device.

AppImage

If none of the distribution specific options fits your setup you should try AppImage. Take care of selecting the one which match your CPU architecture (use x86_64 if you are unsure). We expect those AppImages to work on most GNU/Linux distributions.

• Retroshare x86_64 AppImage
• More RetroShare x86_64 AppImage options
• More RetroShare ARM AppImage options

Arch Linux

We distribute current Retroshare for Arch Linux through our OBS repository. To add it you can use the following commands:

#2 pacman-key --add network_retroshare_Arch_Community_standard.key
#3 echo '[network_retroshare_Arch_Community_standard]' >> /etc/pacman.conf
#4 echo 'Server = https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/retroshare/Arch_Community_standard/x86_64/' >> /etc/pacman.conf
#5 pacman-key --finger "network OBS Project <network@build.opensuse.org>"
#6 pacman-key --lsign-key "network OBS Project <network@build.opensuse.org>"

Determine your Debian version, OBS builds RetroShare packages for Debian 8.0, 9.0, 10, Testing and Ustable:

#1 export DEBIAN_VERSION="9.0"

Add RetroShare OBS as trusted packages repository:

#1 wget -qO - http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:retroshare/Debian_${DEBIAN_VERSION}/Release.key | sudo apt-key add -
#2 sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/retroshare/Debian_${DEBIAN_VERSION}/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/retroshare.list"

And then install RetroShare with the following commands:

Or look for more RetroShare packages with the following commands:
