Platform-Specific Instructions
==============================
Debian
------
Debian/Ubuntu
-------------
Matrix provides official Debian packages via apt from https://matrix.org/packages/debian/.
Note that these packages do not include a client - choose one from
https://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now.html (or build your own with one of our SDKs :)
Matrix.org packages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Matrix.org provides Debian/Ubuntu packages of the latest stable version of
Synapse via https://matrix.org/packages/debian/. To use them::
sudo apt install -y lsb-release curl apt-transport-https
echo "deb https://matrix.org/packages/debian `lsb_release -cs` main" |
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/matrix-org.list
curl "https://matrix.org/packages/debian/repo-key.asc" |
sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt update
sudo apt install matrix-synapse-py3
Downstream Debian/Ubuntu packages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For ``buster`` and ``sid``, Synapse is available in the Debian repositories and
it should be possible to install it with simply::
sudo apt install matrix-synapse
There is also a version of ``matrix-synapse`` in ``stretch-backports``. Please
see the `Debian documentation on backports
<https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/>`_ for information on how to use
them.
We do not recommend using the packages in downstream Ubuntu at this time, as
they are old and suffer from known security vulnerabilities.
