So you wanna give horizon a test drive? Great! Here's how.
A known-good snapshot from ongoing development.
Download and run the MSI installer from GitHub releases.
Keep in mind that binary packages provided by your distribution might be out of date.
Get the latest stable release from Flathub.
Add bintray's key to the apt keyring:
curl https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=bintray | sudo apt-key add -
Add one of these lines to /etc/apt/sources.list:
# Debian Buster deb https://dl.bintray.com/horizon-eda/horizon-eda-buster horizon-eda-buster main # Ubuntu Bionic (18.04) deb https://dl.bintray.com/horizon-eda/horizon-eda-bionic horizon-eda-bionic main # Ubuntu Focal (20.04) deb https://dl.bintray.com/horizon-eda/horizon-eda-focal horizon-eda-focal main
Update the apt cache:
sudo apt-get update
Install it:
# Debian Buster sudo apt-get install -t horizon-eda-buster horizon-eda # Ubuntu Bionic (18.04) sudo apt-get install -t horizon-eda-bionic horizon-eda # Ubuntu Focal (20.04) sudo apt-get install -t horizon-eda-focal horizon-eda
These packages are built from the horizon-deb repo and are published on bintray.
For Arch Linux, there's an AUR package.
If you want to compile it yourself, download the source tarball from GitHub releases and follow the instructions in :doc:`build-linux`.
Usually works, but might break occasionally, so use at your own risk. Recommended if you want to get the latest in features and bug fixes.
Grab the latest build from AppVeyor CI and unzip it somewhere. Note that these are 64bit binaries. In case a build is still running or someone broke the build, you can download past builds from the build history (click on artifacts to get the zip)
Clone the repository and see :doc:`build-linux` for instructions on how to build horizon on linux.
