Libre Computer app

Boot, flash and test Libre Computer boards over USB.

Install on Linux

Run this in a terminal. It installs the libre-computer-app package — the desktop app, the lc command-line tool and the udev rule that lets you reach your board over USB without root. On an ordinary PC it installs just the app, with dependencies from your own distribution; it does not subscribe your machine to our software repository.

To see what it would do without changing anything:

It asks for sudo only for the install step. Supported: Debian 12 and 13, Ubuntu 24.04 and 26.04 LTS. The script checks that the package is published for your system before it changes anything.

Read the install script before you run it.
