Download

Downloads are listed here for all the supported platforms.
For most use cases, you can install any supported version on both client and server.

The source can be downloaded directly from https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra, or using release snapshots:

• pypi releases (preferred)
• xpra.org (identical to pypi)
• github releases (use as backup solution only)

Signatures

All the binary downloads are signed using the PGP key https://xpra.org/xpra.asc aka F18AD6BB, the key fingerprint is B499 3B57 3231 48E3 7977 E5D8 7325 4CAD 1797 8FAF.
For rather tedious reasons, you may need to import two almost identical versions of this key to use the repositories on Debian systems.

Microsoft Windows

Download Formats

The microsoft windows download directory contains:

Format	Purpose
EXE	General purpose installer
MSI	alternative installer for unattended installations
ZIP	local installation without administrative rights

Download Links

Format	Light Build	GPG Signature	Full Build	GPG Signature
EXE	Xpra-Light-x86_64_Setup.exe		Xpra-x86_64_Setup.exe
MSI	Xpra-Light-x86_64.msi		Xpra-Light-x86_64.msi
ZIP	Xpra-Light.zip		Xpra-Light.zip

The Light builds have more limited codec support and do not include any of the server components, which is why those builds use a lot less disk space.

The beta builds can be found here: https://xpra.org/beta/windows/

You can also install xpra using MSYS2 by running pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-xpra. There are downsides to this installation method: no nvidia codecs or file association. You can control some of the components and dependencies manually, though this is not easy.

MacOS

Download Links

The Mac OSX downloads directory contains:

Format	Purpose	Download Link	GPG Signature
x86_64 DMG	Disk Image	Xpra.dmg
x86_64 PKG	PKG Installer	Xpra.pkg
arm64 DMG	Disk Image	Xpra.dmg
arm64 PKG	PKG Installer	Xpra.pkg

These MacOS packages are not notarized, please see Can't you just right click? for installation.

If MacOS complains that the application is damaged, run: sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Xpra.app

The beta MacOS builds can be found here: https://xpra.org/beta/MacOS

Linux

The Linux stable repositories are all found here: https://xpra.org/dists/
The beta repositories are here: https://xpra.org/beta/

Automated repository installation for supported distributions (Fedora, RHEL and clones, Debian and Ubuntu):

git clone https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra
cd xpra
./setup.py install-repo

Then you can just install xpra using your package manager.

Sub-packages

Starting with version 6, xpra packages make extensive use of sub-packages.

As long as you avoid buggy downstream packages, installing xpra using your package manager should install the client and server components as well as most picture codecs and audio support.

for RPM distributions:

Download Links

• download the chosen repository file (stable or beta) into /etc/yum.repos.d as root, ie: for Fedora:

wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/xpra.repo https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Xpra-org/xpra/master/packaging/repos/Fedora/xpra.repo

• dnf install xpra

Distribution	Stable Repository file	Beta Repository File	Extra Notes
Fedora	xpra.repo	xpra-beta.repo
AlmaLinux	xpra.repo	xpra-beta.repo	enable crb and EPEL
RockyLinux	xpra.repo	xpra-beta.repo	enable crb and EPEL
RedHat Enterprise Linux	use AlmaLinux repository	use AlmaLinux repository
CentOS	use AlmaLinux repository	use AlmaLinux repository
CentOS Stream	xpra.repo	xpra-beta.repo
OracleLinux	xpra.repo	xpra-beta.repo

Starting with version 5, the RPM packages depend on rpmfusion packages for some codecs, RHEL and clones also depend on EPEL packages.
To enable crb: dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
Should you wish to do so, you can also build your own packages.

for Debian based distributions:

Download Links

• ensure the SSL certificates are up to date: sudo apt install ca-certificates
• import the key used for signing the packages (newer Debian releases require a newer key, a newer sources format, etc):

  sudo wget -O "/usr/share/keyrings/xpra.asc" https://xpra.org/xpra.asc

  (if the file already exists, you may hit some problems )
• download the appropriate repository file (see table below) into /etc/apt/sources.list.d as root:
  cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d ; wget $REPOFILE
• then run apt update ; apt install xpra

Distribution	Stable Repository file	Beta Repository File
Debian Bullseye	xpra.sources	xpra-beta.sources
Debian Bookworm	xpra.sources	xpra-beta.sources
Debian Trixie	(*) use beta only until ABI is stable	xpra-beta.sources
Debian Sid	(*) use beta only	xpra-beta.sources
Ubuntu Bionic Beaver (*)	xpra.sources	xpra-beta.sources
Ubuntu Focal Fossa	xpra.sources	xpra-beta.sources
Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish	xpra.sources	xpra-beta.sources
Ubuntu Mantic Minotaur	xpra.sources	xpra-beta.sources
Ubuntu Noble Nombat	xpra.sources	xpra-beta.sources
Ubuntu Oracular Oriole	xpra.sources	xpra-beta.sources

The DEB repositories may require the "universe" repository source to be activated to get all the features.
(*) Distributions that do not provide a stable ABI should enable the beta repository.
(*) Older distributions can only run xpra 3.1.x and not later versions.

Step by step example for installing the stable repository on Ubuntu Noble Numbat

Execute these commands as root (ie: using `sudo):

DISTRO=noble
#install https support for apt (which may be installed already):
apt update
apt install apt-transport-https software-properties-common
apt install ca-certificates
# add xpra GPG key:
wget -O "/usr/share/keyrings/xpra.asc" https://xpra.org/xpra.asc
# add the xpra repository:
wget -O "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/xpra.sources" https://xpra.org/repos/$DISTRO/xpra.sources
# add the optional beta channel:
# wget -O "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/xpra-beta.sources" https://xpra.org/repos/$DISTRO/xpra-beta.sources
# install the xpra package:
apt update
apt install xpra

For other distributions, simply change DISTRO to match your distribution name.
