Supported versions
We are packaged in Arch's main community repo. You can use sudo pacman -S cockatrice to install Cockatrice on Arch-based distros.
We provide pre-built packages for Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora (and, therefore, most distos derived from those distros). We endeavor to provide support for LTS versions of these distros for the life of their standard support periods.
Our latest stable release is packaged on Flathub and can be installed via Flatpak.
Common Issues on Derived Distros
Linux Mint can be derived from Ubuntu or Debian, but has naming conventions that do not obviously correspond to those releases (e.g. Mint 22.x is based on Ubuntu 24.04). Please reference this table to determine which of our pre-built packages you should install on Linux Mint. Installing via Flatpak should work regardless of version.
