Linux Download - Prism Launcher

Official Packages

Flathub

Flathub is our primary method of distribution on Linux.

App Center

It may already be setup on your system, but if not, see how to enable it for your distribution here. After setup, Prism Launcher should now be available in your app center (i.e., GNOME Software, Discover)

CLI

You can also enable Flathub and install the launcher with the following commands:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install flathub org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher

Nix / NixOS

An official Nix Flake is available for development and release builds.

AppImage

AppImages allow you to take a single file and run Prism anywhere. AppImage builds only support x86_64 and ARM64.

With Gear Lever (Recommended)

Download Gear Lever from flathub. Once installed, you will be prompted to integrate the launcher’s AppImage with your desktop when you open it for the first time.

Making the AppImage Executable

After downloading the AppImage, open your file manager and make it executable. You should now be able to run it with a click!

CLI

on x86-64:

curl -LO https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/releases/download/10.0.2/PrismLauncher-Linux-x86_64.AppImage
chmod +x ./PrismLauncher-Linux-x86_64.AppImage
./PrismLauncher-Linux-x86_64.AppImage

on ARM64:

curl -LO https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/releases/download/10.0.2/PrismLauncher-Linux-aarch64.AppImage
chmod +x ./PrismLauncher-Linux-aarch64.AppImage
./PrismLauncher-Linux-aarch64.AppImage

CentOS Stream / Fedora / Red Hat Enterprise Linux

RPM packages are available on Copr for x86_64 and aarch64

If you are on an Enterprise Linux distribution (RHEL, CentOS, Rocky, etc.) and do not have the EPEL repositories enabled, please enable them here

# Enables the copr repo

# Install the latest release
sudo dnf install prismlauncher

As an alternative, RPM packages for Fedora are also available from Terra:

sudo dnf install --nogpgcheck --repofrompath 'terra,https://repos.fyralabs.com/terra$releasever' terra-release
# Install the latest release
sudo dnf install prismlauncher

Debian / Ubuntu (x86_64, ARM64)

Packages are made available for Ubuntu, Debian, and Linux Mint through the Prism Launcher for Debian repository.

sudo wget https://prism-launcher-for-debian.github.io/repo/prismlauncher.gpg -O /usr/share/keyrings/prismlauncher-archive-keyring.gpg \
  && echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/prismlauncher-archive-keyring.gpg] https://prism-launcher-for-debian.github.io/repo $(. /etc/os-release; echo "${UBUNTU_CODENAME:-${DEBIAN_CODENAME:-${VERSION_CODENAME}}}") main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/prismlauncher.list \
  && sudo apt update \
  && sudo apt install prismlauncher

Debian / Pi OS / Ubuntu (ARM32/64)

Prism Launcher is available in the pi-apps store

Only Debian/Raspbian/Pi OS Buster and newer and Ubuntu 18.04 and newer are supported.

Gentoo

Ebuilds are available in the official Gentoo repository, under games-action/prismlauncher

For the time being, newer versions of the package are not stabilized, so they are masked for ~amd64 and ~arm64 only.

sudo emaint sync -a

# If you need to unmask the package, and considering `package.accept_keywords` to be a folder.
echo ">=games-action/prismlauncher-5.0" | sudo tee -a /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/prismlauncher
# Or do this if you want to build from the latest commit instead of a release
echo "=games-action/prismlauncher-9999 **" | sudo tee -a /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/prismlauncher

emerge games-action/prismlauncher

Have fun! :)

Nixpkgs

Installation instructions for stable releases are available on the NixOS Wiki.

openSUSE

An RPM package is available on the Open Build Service

# Add repository (if on Leap, replace 'openSUSE_Tumbleweed' with your release version)
zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:getchoo/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/home:getchoo.repo
# Refresh the repository cache
zypper refresh
# Install the latest release
zypper install prismlauncher

Slackware

Prism Launcher is available on SlackBuilds (maintained by Samuel Young)

The package is currently only available for Slackware version 15.0!

You may need to edit the PrismLauncher.SlackBuild file and change the VERSION variable to reflect that of the source code — although it is better if you wait for the maintainer to do so.

# Download slackbuild archive
wget https://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/15.0/games/PrismLauncher.tar.gz
# Extract archive
tar -xpvf PrismLauncher.tar.gz; cd PrismLauncher-*
# Download source specified in PrismLauncher.info. For example for version 7.1:
wget https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/releases/download/7.1/PrismLauncher-7.1.tar.gz
# Verify integrity
md5sum PrismLauncher-*.tar.gz # Compare the result with the MD5 in PrismLauncher.info
# Enter root environment and grant permissions
su -l; chmod +x PrismLauncher.SlackBuild
# Build package
./PrismLauncher.SlackBuild
# Install package (name dependent on version, cpu arch)
cd /tmp; installpkg PrismLauncher-*.tgz

Void Linux

Prism Launcher is available in the official Void repository

sudo xbps-install PrismLauncher
