# Installing gh on Linux

Packages downloaded from https://cli.github.com or from https://github.com/cli/cli/releases
are considered official binaries. We focus on a couple of popular Linux distros and
the following CPU architectures: `i386`, `amd64`, `arm64`.

Other sources for installation are community-maintained and thus might lag behind
our release schedule.
