## Linux
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following third party repositories are available:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Ubuntu
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Add the `PPA` for Helix:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maveonair/helix-editor
|
||
|
|
sudo apt update
|
||
|
|
sudo apt install helix
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Fedora/RHEL
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
sudo dnf install helix
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Arch Linux extra
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Releases are available in the `extra` repository:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
sudo pacman -S helix
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> 💡 When installed from the `extra` repository, run Helix with `helix` instead of `hx`.
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
> For example:
|
||
|
|
> ```sh
|
||
|
|
> helix --health
|
||
|
|
> ```
|
||
|
|
> to check health
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additionally, a [helix-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/helix-git/) package is available
|
||
|
|
in the AUR, which builds the master branch.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### NixOS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Helix is available in [nixpkgs](https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs) through the `helix` attribute,
|
||
|
|
the unstable channel usually carries the latest release.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Helix is also available as a [flake](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes) in the project
|
||
|
|
root. Use `nix develop` to spin up a reproducible development shell. Outputs are
|
||
|
|
cached for each push to master using [Cachix](https://www.cachix.org/). The
|
||
|
|
flake is configured to automatically make use of this cache assuming the user
|
||
|
|
accepts the new settings on first use.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are using a version of Nix without flakes enabled,
|
||
|
|
[install Cachix CLI](https://docs.cachix.org/installation) and use
|
||
|
|
`cachix use helix` to configure Nix to use cached outputs when possible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Flatpak
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Helix is available on [Flathub](https://flathub.org/en-GB/apps/com.helix_editor.Helix):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
flatpak install flathub com.helix_editor.Helix
|
||
|
|
flatpak run com.helix_editor.Helix
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Snap
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Helix is available on [Snapcraft](https://snapcraft.io/helix) and can be installed with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
snap install --classic helix
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will install Helix as both `/snap/bin/helix` and `/snap/bin/hx`, so make sure `/snap/bin` is in your `PATH`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
