Enable [Helium COPR](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/imput/helium/):\n    ```bash\n    sudo dnf copr enable imput/helium\n    ```\n\n1. Install Helium:\n    ```bash\n    sudo dnf install helium-bin\n    ```\n\n### Debian/Ubuntu\n1. Add Helium's signing public key:\n    ```bash\n    curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/imputnet/helium-linux/main/pubkey.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/helium.gpg\n    ```\n\n1. Add Helium's repo:\n    ```bash\n    echo \"deb [arch=amd64,arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/helium.gpg] https://pkg.helium.computer/deb stable main\" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/helium.list\n    ```\n    For prerelease builds, replace `stable` with `prerelease`\n\n1. Update apt lists and install Helium:\n    ```bash\n    sudo apt update \u0026\u0026 sudo apt install helium-bin\n    ```\n\n### AppImage and binary tarball\n[Download the latest release on GitHub](https://github.com/imputnet/helium-linux/releases/latest)\n\n### Flatpak/Flathub\nWe will not support Flatpak as long as it's impossible to package Chromium\nwithout [breaking its sandbox](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/does-flatpak-weaken-chromium-firefoxs-sandbox/13373/7).\nWe recommend that you use AppImage if an official distro package isn't\navailable.\n\n## Credits\n\n### Depot\nBig thank you to [Depot](https://depot.dev/) for sponsoring our runners,\nwhich handle the Linux builds of Helium. Their high-performance infrastructure\nlets us compile, package, and release new builds of Helium within hours,\nnot days.\n\n### ungoogled-chromium\nThis repo uses some stuff that originally came from\n[ungoogled-chromium-portablelinux](https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-portablelinux)\nbefore we fully remade it and forked it for Helium.\n\n## Contributing\nBefore contributing to this repo, please read the guidelines in main repo's\n[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/imputnet/helium/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md).\n\n## License\nAll code, patches, modified portions of imported code or patches, and\nany other content that is unique to Helium and not imported from other\nrepositories is licensed under GPL-3.0. See [LICENSE](LICENSE).\n\nAny content imported from other projects retains its original license (for\nexample, any original unmodified code imported from ungoogled-chromium remains\nlicensed under their [BSD 3-Clause license](LICENSE.ungoogled_chromium)).\n\n## Building\nTo build the binary, run `scripts/docker-build.sh` from the repo root.\n\nThe `scripts/docker-build.sh` script will:\n1. Create a Docker image of a Debian-based building environment with all\n   required packages (llvm, nodejs and distro packages) included.\n2. Run `scripts/build.sh` inside the Docker image to build Helium.\n\nRunning `scripts/build.sh` directly will not work unless you're running a\nDebian-based distro and have all necessary dependencies installed. This repo is\ndesigned to avoid having to configure the building environment on your Linux\ninstallation.\n\n### Packaging\nAfter building, run `scripts/package.sh`. Alternatively, you can run\n`package/docker-package.sh` to build inside a Docker image. Either of these\nscripts will create `tar.xz` and `AppImage` files under `build/`.\n\nIf you would like to also generate a .deb file, you can set `MAKE_DEB=1` when\nrunning the release script.\n\n### Development\nBy default, the build script uses tarball. If you need to use a source tree\nclone, you can run `scripts/docker-build.sh -c` instead. This may be useful if\na tarball for a release isn't available yet.\n\n### Signature\nAppImage builds (since [0.5.7.1](https://github.com/imputnet/helium-linux/releases/tag/0.5.7.1)),\nbinary tarballs (since [0.7.7.2](https://github.com/imputnet/helium-linux/releases/tag/0.7.7.2)),\nand the .deb repository (since [0.10.7.1](https://github.com/imputnet/helium-linux/releases/tag/0.10.7.1))\nare signed with the following key:\n\n```\n-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----\nComment: BE67 7C19 89D3 5EAB 2C5F  26C9 3516 01AD 01D6 378E\nComment: Helium signing key (https://helium.computer/)\n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\nmd8JlXqOCGwmHuOk3VVkR5EjCgm2KJ8hqdhwBA==\n=Chk7\n-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fimputnet%2Fhelium-linux","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fimputnet%2Fhelium-linux","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fimputnet%2Fhelium-linux/lists"}
