-## GNU/Linux
+This page contains descriptions of several officially-supported methods of
+installing RetroArch on systems running the GNU/Linux kernel.
-### Flatpak
+
+

+
+## Flatpak (suitable for most Linux distributions)
Flatpak is a distribution-agnostic packaging format with broad support
-throughout the Linux ecosystem. An official
-[RetroArch flatpak][retroarch-flatpak] is published in the Flathub repository,

-#### Installation
+### Installation
1. Ensure that Flatpak is [enabled on your system][flatpak-setup] by opening the
terminal and confirming that the following command exits with no errors:
- ```sh
- flatpak --installations
- ```
+ ``` shell
+ flatpak --installations
+ ```
-1. Confirm that the Flathub repository is configured as a
- [flatpak remote][flatpak-remote], so that packages may be installed from it.
- You can examine the flatpak remotes currently enabled on your system with
- this terminal command (shown with default output):

- ```
+ ``` shell
+ sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
+ ```
1. Finally, install the RetroArch Flatpak. You have the option of making it
available to only the current user, with this command:
- ```sh
- flatpak install -y --user --from https://dl.flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.libretro.RetroArch.flatpakref
- ```
+ ``` shell
+ flatpak install -y --user --from https://dl.flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.libretro.RetroArch.flatpakref

-#### Launching the Flatpak
+### Launching the Flatpak
RetroArch should now be listed in your app launcher and can also be executed
from the terminal with the command:
-```sh
+``` shell
flatpak run org.libretro.RetroArch
```
-#### Updates
+### Updates
You should keep RetroArch updated by running this command periodically from the
terminal:
-```sh
+``` shell
flatpak update -y --app org.libretro.RetroArch
```
-### Ubuntu-based
+## Ubuntu(-based)
-If you're using Ubuntu, an official [Ubuntu flavor][ubuntu-flavors], or one of
-the many Linux distributions based on Ubuntu (such as Linux Mint, Zorin OS, Pop!
-OS, elementary OS, etc.), you can install RetroArch and many of the most popular
-Libretro cores as native APT packages by simply enabling one (or both) of the
-two official Libretro [Personal Package Archives (PPAs)][help-ppas] hosted on
-[Launchpad](https://launchpad.net/~libretro), namely:
+Ubuntu provides RetroArch as a Debian [package in their official "universe"
+archive][ubuntu-package], which is maintained by the community with no promise
+of support or regular update schedule. Nevertheless, for the casual user of
+Ubuntu or a derivative distribution, it represents the simplest method for
+installing RetroArch. All that is required is to open a terminal and issue this
+single command:
-- [**Stable**][ppa-stable] (recommended), which includes only official releases
- (as announced on libretro.com / retroarch.com), and
-- [**Testing**][ppa-testing], which provides nightly builds of RetroArch and
- most Libretro cores that allow you to test new features as soon as they're
- added.
+``` shell
+sudo apt --upgrade --yes install retroarch
+```
-#### Installation
+### Personal Package Archives (PPAs)
-In order to add PPAs to your system's package sources, some tools from the
-official package repositories are needed. Open the terminal and run this command
-to ensure they are installed:
+In an effort to improve the experience of RetroArch users on Ubuntu, official
+[Ubuntu flavors][ubuntu-flavors], and all of the many Linux distributions based
+on Ubuntu (such as Linux Mint, Zorin OS, Pop! OS, elementary OS, etc.), the
+Libretro Team has long been committed to producing its own Debian packages as an
+alternative to the ones supplied by Ubuntu in the "universe" package archive.
+These packages are updated much faster to keep pace with each new RetroArch
+version, and compiled with a greater range of features than the Ubuntu package.
+In addition, Debian packages are created for the vast majority of popular
+Libretro cores, simplifying their installation and allowing them to be updated
+by the system package manager on the same schedule as all other package updates.
-```sh
-sudo apt -y install software-properties-common
-```
+These packages are built and distributed using the [Launchpad
+platform][launchpad-team] operated by Canonical itself (the company which
+distributes Ubuntu), and split into two channels called "Personal Package
+Archives" (PPAs) that each cater to a specific type of user. By simply [enabling
+one (or both) the PPAs][help-ppas] listed below, users can seamlessly replace
+the Ubuntu RetroArch package on their system with those provided by the Libretro
+team.
-One command is needed to add a PPA to your system's package sources. To add the
-[**Stable PPA**][ppa-stable], use:
+- [**Stable**][ppa-stable] (recommended) — includes only official releases
+ (as announced on libretro.com / retroarch.com)
-```sh
-sudo add-apt-repository -ysnP libretro/stable
-```
+- [**Testing**][ppa-testing] — builds of RetroArch and most Libretro cores from
+ the latest source code, for test new fixes and features as soon as they're
+ added
-Or to add the [**Testing PPA**][ppa-testing], use:
+### Installation
-```sh
-sudo add-apt-repository -ysnP libretro/testing
-```
+Follow these steps to enable the Libretro PPAs on your Ubuntu(-based) system.
-You can now install the RetroArch package from the PPAs with this command:
+1. In order to add PPAs to your system's package sources, some tools from the
+ official package repositories are needed. Open the terminal and run this
+ command to ensure they are installed:
-```sh
-sudo apt -Uy install retroarch
-```
+ ``` shell
+ sudo apt --update --yes install software-properties-common
+ ```
+
+1. Just a single command is needed to add a PPA to your system's package
+ sources.
+
+ - To add the [**Stable PPA**][ppa-stable], run this command in your
+ terminal:
+
+ ``` shell
+ sudo add-apt-repository --yes --no-update --ppa libretro/stable
+ ```
+
+ - Or to add the [**Testing PPA**][ppa-testing], run:
+
+ ``` shell
+ sudo add-apt-repository --yes --no-update --ppa libretro/testing
+ ```
+
+1. You can now install the RetroArch package from the PPAs with this command:
+
+ ``` shell
+ sudo apt --update --yes install retroarch
+ ```
+
+#### Verifying PPA package installation
-You can verify that the PPA package was installed rather than the one from the
-official distribution repositories with the `apt show` command (shown with
-expected output for the Testing PPA package):

-# Navigating
-
-Navigating on RetroArch is as easy as you can imagine. Depending on the device you have, the control scheme is determined automatically. For example, if you are going to use it on a computer, the basic key combinations of the keyboard will apply. You move with the arrow keys and select with the *Enter* key, and you return with the *Backspace* key. If you plug a controller, you can also move with the D-Pad buttons.
-
-The default [GUI](GUI) for RetroArch is [Ozone](ozone.md). While the "skin" may differ on certain platforms, basic layout and navigation remains broadly the same.
-
-## PC
-
-By default the keyboard should be ready to use.
-
-Using the *left* and *right* arrow keys, you move to a different tab, each tab will relate to an aspect of the RetroArch experience (main menu for game loading, settings for settings etc.). Once the desired tab is selected, use the *up* and *down* arrow to move to an option.
-
-To advance in the menu press *Enter* (or *Return*). To go back to the previous menu push *Backspace*.
-
-Whilst in a game use the *F1* key to open the [Quick Menu](quick-menu.md).
-
-Pushing *Esc* twice will quit the program.
-
-### Main Menu
-
-
-
-Welcome to the main menu. This is where you will launch games, download and update cores, and have access to freely available content. *Load Core*, *Load Content* and the *Online Updater* are the menu items you will probably be using the most.
-
-*See [Starting a Game](starting-a-game.md)*
-
-### Settings
-
-
-
-Here you will find all the options available to configure RetroArch, from Graphics, Input, Sound and everything else.
-
-### Favorites
-
-
-
-Favorites allow yous to maintain a short list of games for quick access. You can add content to this playlist from the [Quick Menu](quick-menu.md) or before launching it.
-
-### History
-
-
-
-Recently launched content will be added to this Playlist. The content you ran last will be at the top.
-
-### Image, Music and Video
-
-These tabs will handle all your media. Images will contain any screenshots you've made.
-
-### Netplay
-
-RetroArch relies on peer-to-peer networking to reduce network latency and ensure the best possible experience. It allows multiplayer over the internet. The user can host or join a network gaming session, or use the Spectator mode to watch others play. RetroArch has a built-in netplay lobby.
-
-### Import content
-
-
-
-Either you scan automatically, so that any content that matches the internal database will be added to Playlists, or you scan manually, not being dependent on the database so you can freely add your content to Playlists.
-
-## Mobile
-
-The mobile interface, [GLUI](glui.md), is much more minimalistic compared to the PC's interface. Touch is the default input, although depending on device other options may be available. There are three different tabs, which can be switched at the bottom of the menu.
-
-### Main Menu
-
-
-
-The main menu will be where you launch games, download and update cores, start or join netplay sessions and pretty much anything to do with gaming.
-
-*See [Starting a Game](starting-a-game.md)*
-
-### Playlists
-
-Handles anything to do with creating and maintaining playlists. It gives you scanning options to recognise your game collection. It also provides access to your images, music and videos.
-
-### Settings
-
-Here you will find all the options available to configure RetroArch, from Graphics, Input, Sound and everything else.
