Alpine Linux #

APK Packages are available on Alpine Linux Edge for multiple architectures

apk add prismlauncher

Arch Linux / Manjaro #

An official package is available in the Arch Linux repositories:

There are several AUR packages available:

Installing #

# stable source package:
pacman -S prismlauncher
# latest git package:
yay -S prismlauncher-git

If you want to use Qt 5 to build the packages instead:

# stable Qt 5 source package:
yay -S prismlauncher-qt5
# stable Qt 5 binary package:
yay -S prismlauncher-qt5-bin
# latest Qt 5 git package:
yay -S prismlauncher-qt5-git

You can replace yay -S with your preferred AUR helper's install command.

Installation using Chaotic-AUR #

If you have not already enabled the Chaotic-AUR follow their instructions on https://aur.chaotic.cx/ to enable it.

# stable package:
sudo pacman -S prismlauncher
# latest git package:
sudo pacman -S prismlauncher-git

If you want to use Qt 5 to build the packages instead:

# stable Qt 5 package:

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.

Nightly builds are updated automatically in the Terra repository and built on Copr every 24 hours.

# enables the copr repo
sudo dnf copr enable g3tchoo/prismlauncher
# stable releases
sudo dnf install prismlauncher
# nightly builds

Debian / Ubuntu (x86_64, ARM64) #

We use makedeb for our Debian packages.
Several MPR packages are available:

Installation using Prebuilt MPR (recommended) #

sudo apt install lsb-release # install if not installed
curl -q 'https://proget.makedeb.org/debian-feeds/prebuilt-mpr.pub' | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/prebuilt-mpr-archive-keyring.gpg 1> /dev/null
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/prebuilt-mpr-archive-keyring.gpg] https://proget.makedeb.org prebuilt-mpr $(lsb_release -cs)" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/prebuilt-mpr.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install prismlauncher

Prebuilt MPR supports Debian 11, 12, and Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, 22.10, and 23.04.

Installing with mist, the MPR CLI #

First, install makedeb and mist using the instructions on their websites.

You can then use it to easily install Prism Launcher:

# stable source package:
mist install prismlauncher
# stable binary package:
mist install prismlauncher-bin
# latest git package:
mist install prismlauncher-git

Installing with Pacstall #

Installing Pacstall

sudo bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://git.io/JsADh || wget -q https://git.io/JsADh -O -)"

Installing Prism Launcher

# latest git package:
pacstall -I prismlauncher-git

Debian / Pi OS / Ubuntu (ARM32/64) #

Prism Launcher is available in the pi-apps store as a deb install:

NOTE: Only supports Debian/Raspbian/Pi OS Buster and newer and Ubuntu 18.04 and newer.
Debian-based ARM packages are community-maintained, Prism Launcher is not responsible for outdated versions.

Gentoo #

Ebuilds are available in the official Gentoo repository, under games-action/prismlauncher.
Note that, for the time being, it is not stabilized, so it's 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! :)

RPM packages are available on the Open Build Service.

Slackware #

Prism Launcher is available on SlackBuilds maintained by Samuel Young. The package is only available for Slackware version 15.0 (currently)!

Note: 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 update the SlackBuild file.

# download launcher 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
