## Installation
We plan to distribute Briar via Debian (and related distributions) as _.deb_ and
via [Flathub.org](https://flathub.org/home) as flatpak, but until now, there are
only semi-official installation methods available. You might want to use them now
for not having to wait, but please note that those installation methods will be deprecated
once Briar is available in Debian and Flathub.org.
### Flatpak
Briar GTK can be installed using Flatpak.

### Debian Bullseye
At [media.dorfbrunnen.eu/briar/debs](https://media.dorfbrunnen.eu/briar/debs/)
_.deb_ files are available to install Briar GTK on Debian Bullseye (currently
_testing_). From its readme:
> Similar to the jars/ folder, I will upload .deb packages of Briar GTK here until Briar is included in Debian main.
>
> To verify the signatures, first download my PGP key:
>
> https://keys.openpgp.org/vks/v1/by-fingerprint/558BE9071CA6CA44DBF5576B95A0DAF7DBC7B548
>
> Then, import my key into your key ring:
>
> `gpg --import 558BE9071CA6CA44DBF5576B95A0DAF7DBC7B548`
>
> Finally, verify that the files match the signatures:
>
> `gpg --verify briar-gtk-latest.deb.sig briar-gtk-latest.deb`
>
> Before installing the .debs, please make sure to uninstall any other versions of Briar related software on your device, e.g. `briar_wrapper` from pip.
>
> You can then proceed to installing the .deb's:
>
> `sudo apt install ./*.deb`
