Ubuntu / Debian {#debian}

  1. Download the [latest release]({{ site.data.links.project.latestRelease.deb }}) (OpenTabletDriver.deb)

  2. Run the following commands in a terminal

    # Update the package list
sudo apt update

# Install the package
sudo apt install ./OpenTabletDriver.deb

    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 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 (Upstream package) {#fedora}

  1. Download the [latest release]({{ site.data.links.project.latestRelease.rpm }}) (OpenTabletDriver.rpm)

  2. Install the package with the following command:

    sudo dnf install ./OpenTabletDriver.rpm

    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.

Fedora (Terra) {#terra}

[Terra]({{ site.data.links.external.Terra.website }}) also provides RPM builds for Fedora, Ultramarine and RHEL 10-based distributions.

  1. Add the Terra repository

    sudo dnf install --repofrompath 'terra,https://repos.fyralabs.com/terra$releasever' --setopt='terra.gpgkey=https://repos.fyralabs.com/terra$releasever/key.asc' terra-release

  2. Install OpenTabletDriver

    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

rm -rf opentabletdriver
# Regenerate initramfs
sudo mkinitcpio -P
