# Installing gh on Linux

The core, paid developers of `gh` officially support a `.deb` repository and a `.rpm` repository. We
primarily test against Ubuntu and Fedora but do our best to support other distros that can work with
our repositories. We focus on support for `amd64` and `i386` architectures.

All other combinations of distro, packaging, or architecture should be considered community
supported.

## Official methods

### Debian/Ubuntu Linux (apt)

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key C99B11DEB97541F0

hasn't been tested. Otherwise, to install from package:
 
Install and upgrade:

1. Download the `.rpm` file from the [releases page][];
2. Install the downloaded file: `sudo zypper in gh_*_linux_amd64.rpm`
