Linux Package Repository

FinLaunch publishes official APT (Debian/Ubuntu) and RPM (Fedora/RHEL) repositories so you can install and update the desktop client through your system package manager.

APT (Debian, Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, Mint)

Add the repository

# Import the signing key
curl -fsSL https://finwavepublic.blob.core.windows.net/apt/finwave-repo.gpg.key \
  | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/finwave-archive-keyring.gpg

# Add the repository
echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/finwave-archive-keyring.gpg] https://finwavepublic.blob.core.windows.net/apt stable main" \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/finwave.list

Install

sudo apt update
sudo apt install finlaunch

FinLaunch will be updated alongside your other packages:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

RPM (Fedora, RHEL, CentOS Stream, openSUSE)

Add the repository

# Import the signing key
sudo rpm --import https://finwavepublic.blob.core.windows.net/rpm/finwave-repo.gpg.key

# Add the repository
sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/finwave.repo <<'EOF'
[finwave]
name=finwave FinLaunch
baseurl=https://finwavepublic.blob.core.windows.net/rpm

gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://finwavepublic.blob.core.windows.net/rpm/finwave-repo.gpg.key

sudo dnf install finlaunch

# Older RHEL / CentOS
sudo yum install finlaunch

sudo dnf upgrade finlaunch

Verifying the installation

After installing, verify the package is correctly installed:

finlaunch --version

Switching from manual install

If you previously installed FinLaunch from a downloaded .deb or .rpm file, adding the repository will take over future updates. Your existing installation and data in ~/.finwave/ are preserved.
