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:
Signatures
All the binary downloads are signed using the PGP key https://xpra.org/gpg.asc aka F18AD6BB, the key fingerprint is C11C 0A4D F702 EDF6 C04F 458C 18AD B31C F18A D6BB.
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
The microsoft windows download directory contains:
| Format | Purpose | Download Link | GPG Signature |
|---|---|---|---|
EXE |
General purpose installer | Xpra-x86_64_Setup.exe | Xpra-x86_64_Setup.exe.gpg |
MSI |
alternative installer for unattended installations | Xpra-x86_64.msi | Xpra-x86_64.msi.gpg |
ZIP |
local installation without administrative rights | Xpra.zip | Xpra.zip.gpg |
Other types of builds are also available there, ie: Client only builds without the server components - those use less disk space and.
Both 32-bit and 64-bit builds can be installed concurrently, but the file and URL associations will point to the installation performed last and these will be removed when either package is uninstalled.
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. The only downside of using this method is the lack of file association, but you do get more control over which components and dependencies are and aren't installed.
MacOS
The Mac OSX downloads directory contains:
| Format | Purpose | Download Link | GPG Signature |
|---|---|---|---|
x86_64 DMG
|
Disk Image | Xpra.dmg | Xpra.dmg.gpg |
x86_64 PKG
|
PKG Installer | Xpra.pkg | Xpra.pkg.gpg |
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/
Note: the beta repositories are supplemental ones so you must also enable the stable repository to be able to use them.
Sub-packages
Installing xpra using your package manager should install the client and server components as well as most picture codecs and audio support.
For slimmer installations, you may also want to use apt's --no-install-recommends or dnf's --setopt=install_weak_deps=False and select individual xpra sub-packages:
-
xpra-common- this required by all the other sub-packages -
xpra-client- console client:xpra stop,xpra info, etc -
xpra-client-gtk3- the main client GUI:xpra attach,xpra launcher, etc -
xpra-server- for starting sessions locally:xpra start,xpra desktop,xpra shadow, etc -
xpra-audio- audio forwarding support for both client and server -
xpra-codecs- core picture compression codecs -
xpra-codecs-nvidia- proprietary NVidia codecs:nvenc,nvjpeg,nvdec,nvfbc, etc
for RPM distributions:
- import the key used for signing the packages:\
rpm --import https://xpra.org/gpg.asc
- download the chosen repository file (stable or beta) into
/etc/yum.repos.das root, ie:
Fedora:wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/xpra.repo https://xpra.org/repos/Fedora/xpra.repo dnf install xpra
| Distribution | Stable Repository file | Beta Repository File |
|---|---|---|
| Fedora | xpra.repo | xpra-beta.repo |
| AlmaLinux | xpra.repo | xpra-beta.repo |
| RockyLinux | xpra.repo | xpra-beta.repo |
| 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 rpmfusion packages for some codecs, RHEL and clones also depend on EPEL packages.
Should you wish to do so, you can also build your own packages.
for Debian based distributions:
- 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/gpg.asc
- download the appropriate repository file (see table below) into
/etc/apt/sources.list.das root:
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d;wget $REPOFILE - then run
apt update;apt install xpra
| Distribution | Stable Repository file | Beta Repository File |
|---|---|---|
| Debian Stretch | xpra.sources | xpra-beta.sources |
| Debian Buster | xpra.sources | xpra-beta.sources |
| Debian Bullseye | xpra.sources | xpra-beta.sources |
| Debian Bookworm | use beta until released (*) | xpra-beta.sources |
| Debian Sid | use beta only | xpra-beta.sources |
| Ubuntu Bionic Beaver | xpra.sources | xpra-beta.sources |
| Ubuntu Focal Fossa | xpra.sources | xpra-beta.sources |
| Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish | xpra.sources | xpra-beta.sources |
| Ubuntu Kinetic Kudu | xpra.sources | xpra-beta.sources |
| Ubuntu Lunar Lobster | use beta until released (*) | xpra-beta.sources |
The DEB repositories may require the "universe" repository source to be activated to get all the features.
(*) Distributions that do not provide a stable ABI should enable the beta repository.
Step by step example for installing the stable repository on Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish
DISTRO=jammy
#install https support for apt (which may be installed already):
sudo apt update
sudo apt install apt-transport-https software-properties-common
sudo apt install ca-certificates
# add xpra GPG key:
sudo wget -O "/usr/share/keyrings/xpra.asc" https://xpra.org/gpg.asc
# add the xpra repository:
wget -O "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/xpra.sources" https://xpra.org/repos/$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:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install xpraFor other distributions, simply change DISTRO to match your distribution name.
Older distributions may also need to use the deprecated .list files from here and the following keys:
sudo wget -O "/usr/share/keyrings/xpra-2018.gpg" https://xpra.org/xpra-2018.gpg
sudo wget -O "/usr/share/keyrings/xpra-2022.gpg" https://xpra.org/xpra-2022.gpg
