## Building
You can clone the source code from this git repository and build manually:
Instructions for building and installing the current development version from
source.
It is recommended to use the distribution-specific instructions below when
applicable, as they generate native packages, which should make integration
with the rest of the system and package management easier.
For other distributions, see the [generic instructions](#generic).
See also [.gitlab-ci.yml](.gitlab-ci.yml) for how distribution-specific builds
are done in CI.
### Arch
Note: The AUR package is not maintained by us.
Install [firejail-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/firejail-git) from
the AUR.
Example:
```sh
yay -S firejail-git
```
### Debian
For Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives:
Note: Any ./configure flags should be passed to [`mkdeb.sh`](mkdeb.sh)
(such as `./mkdeb.sh --enable-foo`).
```sh
sudo apt-get update -qy
sudo apt-get install -qy \
git build-essential fakeroot lintian libapparmor-dev pkg-config gawk
git clone 'https://github.com/netblue30/firejail.git' &&
cd firejail &&
./configure &&
make dist &&
./mkdeb.sh &&
sudo dpkg -i ./*.deb &&
make installcheck
```
### Fedora
For Fedora and derivatives:
Note: Any ./configure flags should be passed to [`mkrpm.sh`](platform/rpm/mkrpm.sh)
(such as `./platform/rpm/mkrpm.sh --enable-foo`).
```sh
sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf install -y rpm-build gcc make
git clone 'https://github.com/netblue30/firejail.git' &&
cd firejail &&
./configure &&
make dist &&
./platform/rpm/mkrpm.sh &&
sudo rpm -i ./*.rpm &&
make installcheck
```
### Generic
