{% assign latest_otd_version = site.data.otd-versions | last %}

Ubuntu / Debian {#debian}

{% assign deb_filename = site.data.links.project.latestRelease.deb | replace: '{{VERSION}}', latest_otd_version %}

  1. {% include latest-release.html filename=deb_filename %}

  2. Run the following commands in a terminal

    # Update the package list
sudo apt update

# Install the package
sudo apt install ./{{ deb_filename }}

    This assumes that you are in the directory in which you downloaded OpenTabletDriver to.

  3. Refer to [this section]({% link _wiki/FAQ/Linux.md %}#autostart) for instructions on how to auto-start OpenTabletDriver on boot.

If you run into uninstallable dependency issues with dotnet, you will need to install it through Microsoft's dotnet repository.

If you have the Microsoft dotnet repository installed you will have to either make sure you are not using any packages from that repository or use everything dotnet based off that. Mixing packages from different repositories will cause libhostfxr issues.

If you're experiencing libhostfxr issues, please see the solutions from Microsoft [here]({{ site.data.links.external.Microsoft.DotnetLinuxPackageMixup }}).

RPM-based distributions {#rpm}

Fedora {#fedora}

{% assign rpm_filename = site.data.links.project.latestRelease.rpm | replace: '{{VERSION}}', latest_otd_version %}

  1. {% include latest-release.html filename=rpm_filename %}

  2. Install the package with the following command:

    sudo dnf install ./{{ rpm_filename }}

    This assumes that you are in the directory in which you downloaded OpenTabletDriver to.

  3. Update your initramfs:

    sudo dracut --regenerate-all --force

  4. Refer to [this section]({% link _wiki/FAQ/Linux.md %}#autostart) for instructions on how to auto-start OpenTabletDriver on boot.

openSUSE {#opensuse}

  1. {% include latest-release.html filename=site.data.links.project.latestRelease.rpm %}

  2. Run commands from [this guide]({{ site.data.links.external.Microsoft.AddMicrosoftRepoOpenSUSE }}) to add the Microsoft package repository.

    You don't need to install .NET runtime at this point as zypper will install it as a dependency of OpenTabletDriver.

  3. Run the following commands in a terminal

    # Update the package list
sudo zypper refresh

# Install the package
sudo zypper --no-gpg-checks install ./OpenTabletDriver.rpm

    This assumes that you are in the directory in which you downloaded OpenTabletDriver to.

  4. Refer to [this section]({% link _wiki/FAQ/Linux.md %}#autostart) for instructions on how to auto-start OpenTabletDriver on boot.

EndeavoursOS {#endeavouros}

While EndeavourOS is based on Arch Linux, it uses a different initramfs generator compared to standard Arch Linux, which means the post-install setup is different.

  1. Install the opentabletdriver AUR package with either the GUI package utility, Pamac, or the command-line utility, yay

    yay -S opentabletdriver

  2. Then, run the following commands in a terminal

{% include wiki/arch-install-steps.md ramdisk_update_command="dracut-rebuild" %}

Then refer to [this section]({% link _wiki/FAQ/Linux.md %}#autostart) for instructions on how to auto-start OpenTabletDriver on boot.

Arch Linux {#arch}

You can install OpenTabletDriver from the AUR. There are two ways to do this.

Then refer to [this section]({% link _wiki/FAQ/Linux.md %}#autostart) for instructions on how to auto-start OpenTabletDriver on boot.

If you are using a ramdisk environment that isn't mkinitcpio, consult its documentation for how to regenerate or rebuild your existing ramdisk images. {:.alert-primary}

AUR helper method {#aur-helper-method}

  1. Use an AUR helper to install the opentabletdriver AUR package.
  2. Run the following commands in a terminal

{% include wiki/arch-install-steps.md %}

makepkg method {#manual-makepkg-method}

  1. Run the following commands in a terminal

{% include wiki/arch-install-steps.md makepkg=true %}

Gentoo {#gentoo}

  1. Add Guru overlay

    This is only required if you don't already have the Guru overlay configured

    # Enable guru repository
sudo eselect repository enable guru
sudo emerge --sync guru

  2. Edit /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords and add this line

    x11-drivers/OpenTabletDriver ~amd64

  3. Install the package with the following command

    sudo emerge OpenTabletDriver

  4. Refer to [this section]({% link _wiki/FAQ/Linux.md %}#autostart) for instructions on how to auto-start OpenTabletDriver on boot.
