On all Linux-based operating systems, Sideband is available as a `pip`/`pipx` package. You can either pull and install Sideband directly from the `pip` repository, or download and install locally using `whl` package from the [latest release page](https://github.com/markqvist/Sideband/releases/latest).
On most Linux-based operating systems, you can simply download the pre-compiled AppImage from the [latest release page](https://github.com/markqvist/Sideband/releases/latest) and run it.
Depending on your Linux distribution, you may need to install a few other packages for full voice call, audio messaging and clipboard functionality. Make sure you have `opusfile`, and a clipboard manager like `xclip` or `wl-clipboard` installed:
```bash
# For Debian 13+, Ubuntu 24.04+ and derivatives
sudo apt install libopusfile0 xclip xsel
# For Debian 12+, Ubuntu 22.04+ and derivatives
sudo apt install libopusfile0 xclip xsel
# For Manjaro and derivatives
pamac install opusfile xclip xsel
# For Arch and derivatives
sudo pacman -Sy opusfile xclip xsel
# Clipboard support on Wayland: If the clipboard is not
# working correctly on Wayland with xclip and xsel, you
# can install wl-clipboard and wl-clipboard-x11 instead.
pamac remove xclip xsel
pamac install wl-clipboard wl-clipboard-x11
```
