## Linux
|
|
|
|
The following third party repositories are available:
|
|
|
|
### Ubuntu
|
|
|
|
Add the `PPA` for Helix:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maveonair/helix-editor
|
|
sudo apt update
|
|
sudo apt install helix
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Fedora/RHEL
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo dnf install helix
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Arch Linux extra
|
|
|
|
Releases are available in the `extra` repository:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo pacman -S helix
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> 💡 When installed from the `extra` repository, run Helix with `helix` instead of `hx`.
|
|
>
|
|
> For example:
|
|
> ```sh
|
|
> helix --health
|
|
> ```
|
|
> to check health
|
|
|
|
Additionally, a [helix-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/helix-git/) package is available
|
|
in the AUR, which builds the master branch.
|
|
|
|
### NixOS
|
|
|
|
Helix is available in [nixpkgs](https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs) through the `helix` attribute,
|
|
the unstable channel usually carries the latest release.
|
|
|
|
Helix is also available as a [flake](https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Flakes) in the project
|
|
root. Use `nix develop` to spin up a reproducible development shell. Outputs are
|
|
cached for each push to master using [Cachix](https://www.cachix.org/). The
|
|
flake is configured to automatically make use of this cache assuming the user
|
|
accepts the new settings on first use.
|
|
|
|
If you are using a version of Nix without flakes enabled,
|
|
[install Cachix CLI](https://docs.cachix.org/installation) and use
|
|
`cachix use helix` to configure Nix to use cached outputs when possible.
|
|
|
|
### Flatpak
|
|
|
|
Helix is available on [Flathub](https://flathub.org/en-GB/apps/com.helix_editor.Helix):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
flatpak install flathub com.helix_editor.Helix
|
|
flatpak run com.helix_editor.Helix
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Snap
|
|
|
|
Helix is available on [Snapcraft](https://snapcraft.io/helix) and can be installed with:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
snap install --classic helix
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will install Helix as both `/snap/bin/helix` and `/snap/bin/hx`, so make sure `/snap/bin` is in your `PATH`.
|
|
|
|
### AppImage
|
|
|
|
Install Helix using the Linux [AppImage](https://appimage.org/) format.
|
|
Download the official Helix AppImage from the [latest releases](https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/releases/latest) page.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
chmod +x helix-*.AppImage # change permission for executable mode
|
|
./helix-*.AppImage # run helix
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can optionally [add the `.desktop` file](./building-from-source.md#configure-the-desktop-shortcut). Helix must be installed in `PATH` with the name `hx`. For example:
|
|
```sh
|
|
mkdir -p "$HOME/.local/bin"
|
|
mv helix-*.AppImage "$HOME/.local/bin/hx"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and make sure `~/.local/bin` is in your `PATH`.
|
|
|
