Hyperion on Linux
Easy Install
If you want to get started quickly and easily, you can install Hyperion with our one-line easy install script. This script will automatically set up our repository, add our GPG key to your system and install the Hyperion package. The supported and tested systems are currently Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora.
Stable/Nightly releases
In addition to the standard stable releases, there are also nightly releases available. To install a nightly release, select the “Nightly release” tab and copy the corresponding command.
The Nightly variant may contain newer features/bugfixes etc. and is rebuilt every night (if something has changed). Use at your own risk.
To install/uninstall, copy the command, paste it into your terminal, and hit Enter to begin the installation process.
curl -sSL https://releases.hyperion-project.org/install | bashcurl -sSL https://releases.hyperion-project.org/install | bash -s -- --nightlycurl -sSL https://releases.hyperion-project.org/install | bash -s -- --removeOther distributions based on Ubuntu or Debian
The same easy installation script can be used, but the underlying distribution codename needs to be provided by an additional option
--ubuntu codebase name or --debian codebase name
Sample for Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS or Mint 21.2 Victoria (which are based on Ubuntu 'jammy')
curl -sSL https://releases.hyperion-project.org/install | bash -s -- --ubuntu 'jammy'LibreELEC
The same easy installation script can be used, but special attention is required when upgrading a version.
If you wish to upgrade, the following two steps are required, as LibreELEC does not support packages or related upgrades:
Remove the current version using the 'Uninstall' command above.
Install the latest version, see above.
TIP
Your configuration database will not be deleted when you remove the current version. However, it is advisable to export your configuration and perform a configuration backup.
