The [Releases](https://github.com/solemnwarning/rehex/releases) page has standalone packages for Windows and Mac, as well as installable packages for popular Linux distributions, or you can install them from a distribution package repository as described below.
The same packages are also produced for Git commits (look for the tick), if you want to try the development/unreleased versions.

sudo wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/solemnwarning-archive-keyring.gpg \

Add the following lines to your `/etc/apt/sources.list` file:
deb http://repos.solemnwarning.net/debian/ CODENAME main
