# Installation

### Linux

A Linux repository is available for several distributions. The instructions for installing the client from the repository can be found on the homepage [**homepage**](https://client.pritunl.com/#install). Install the `pritunl-client-electron` package for desktops and the `pritunl-client` for servers.

When adding profiles copy the *URI Link* from the profile page and paste it into the *Import Profile URI*.

The `pritunl-client-electron-numix-theme` package is available to install a Numix Square icon.

### macOS

The macOS package can be downloaded from the [**homepage**](https://client.pritunl.com/#install). After downloading extract the package from the zip file and open the package.

When adding profiles copy the *URI Link* from the profile page and paste it into the *Import Profile URI*.

### Windows

The Windows package can be downloaded from the [**homepage**](https://client.pritunl.com/#install). After downloading open the package.

When adding profiles copy the *URI Link* from the profile page and paste it into the *Import Profile URI*.

### Mobile Devices

An official Pritunl client is not available on mobile devices but any OpenVPN client can be used to connect to Pritunl.

When adding profiles on a mobile device use the blue individual profile links such as *Download Profile (Server Name)*. These are the only links on the profile download page that will work on a mobile device.

### Verify Signature

The installer files can be checked against the hashes published in the [**Pritunl Client GitHUb Repository**](https://github.com/pritunl/pritunl-client-electron/blob/master/SHA256). Additionally GPG signatures of the installers are available. All Linux packages in the repository are signed and automatically checked by the GPG key included in the repository configuration.

To verify the macOS and Windows installers signature download the `.sig` signature files from the [**Pritunl Client Releases**](https://github.com/pritunl/pritunl-client-electron/releases). Verify the signature is valid for the [**Pritunl Client GPG Key**](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pritunl/pritunl-client-electron/master/pritunl_pub.asc) using the commands below.

`contact@pritunl.com: CB55 1723 4EC6 B1F9 7A27 4969 0ADB 523E 055C 08A4`

```shell
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pritunl/pritunl-client-electron/master/pritunl_pub.asc | gpg --import
gpg --verify Pritunl.exe.sig Pritunl.exe
gpg --verify Pritunl.pkg.zip.sig Pritunl.pkg.zip
