Manual Installation
If you prefer not to use the one-line installer, you can set up yeet manually using the instructions below for your package manager.
yeet only supports Linux natively. macOS and Windows users should use Docker instead.
APT (Debian, Ubuntu, and derivatives)
This covers Debian, Ubuntu 20.04+, and Ubuntu-based distros like Kali Linux, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, Zorin, and KDE Neon.
First, add the yeet signing key and repository:
Debian:
sudo mkdir -p -m 0755 /usr/share/keyrings
curl -fsSL "https://pkgs.yeet.cx/debian/yeet.noarmor.gpg" \
| sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/yeet-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/yeet-archive-keyring.gpg] \
https://pkgs.yeet.cx/debian $(. /etc/os-release; echo $VERSION_CODENAME) stable" \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yeet.list >/dev/null
Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based distros:
sudo mkdir -p -m 0755 /usr/share/keyrings
curl -fsSL "https://pkgs.yeet.cx/ubuntu/yeet.noarmor.gpg" \
| sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/yeet-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/yeet-archive-keyring.gpg] \
https://pkgs.yeet.cx/ubuntu $(. /etc/os-release; echo ${UBUNTU_CODENAME:-$VERSION_CODENAME}) stable" \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yeet.list >/dev/null
Then install yeet:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y yeet
DNF / RPM (Fedora, RHEL, and derivatives)
This covers Fedora, RHEL, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, Amazon Linux 2023, and similar RPM-based distros. Note that Amazon Linux 2 is not supported — use Amazon Linux 2023 or later.
Add the yeet repository and install:
Fedora:
sudo dnf install -y 'dnf-command(config-manager)'
curl -fsSL "https://pkgs.yeet.cx/fedora/yeet.repo" \
| sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/yeet.repo >/dev/null
sudo dnf install -y yeet
sudo systemctl enable --now yeetd
RHEL, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux:
sudo dnf install -y 'dnf-command(config-manager)'
curl -fsSL "https://pkgs.yeet.cx/rhel/yeet.repo" \
| sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/yeet.repo >/dev/null
sudo dnf install -y yeet
sudo systemctl enable --now yeetd
Amazon Linux 2023:
sudo dnf install -y 'dnf-command(config-manager)'
VERSION_ID=$(. /etc/os-release; echo $VERSION_ID)
curl -fsSL "https://pkgs.yeet.cx/amzn/yeet.repo" \
| sed "s/\$releasever/$VERSION_ID/g" \
| sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/yeet.repo >/dev/null
sudo dnf install -y yeet
sudo systemctl enable --now yeetd
AUR (Arch Linux and derivatives)
yeet is published on the AUR as yeet-bin. This covers Arch Linux, Manjaro, Garuda, CachyOS, Artix, and other Arch-based distros.
If you have an AUR helper like yay installed, you can install yeet with a single command:
yay -S yeet-bin
sudo systemctl enable --now yeetd
If you'd prefer to install manually using makepkg:
tmp_dir=$(mktemp -d)
curl -fsSL "https://pkgs.yeet.cx/archlinux/yeet.noarmor.gpg" -o "$tmp_dir/yeet.pub"
gpg --import "$tmp_dir/yeet.pub"
key_id=$(gpg --with-colons --import-options show-only --import "$tmp_dir/yeet.pub" | awk -F: '/^pub/ {print $5}')
printf "5\ny\n" | gpg --command-fd 0 --edit-key "$key_id" -q trust
sudo pacman-key --add "$tmp_dir/yeet.pub"
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key "$key_id"
git clone -c init.defaultBranch=master https://aur.archlinux.org/yeet-bin.git "$tmp_dir/yeet-bin"
(cd "$tmp_dir/yeet-bin" && makepkg -s)
sudo pacman -U --noconfirm "$tmp_dir"/yeet-bin/yeet-bin-[0-9]*.pkg.tar.zst
sudo systemctl enable --now yeetd
rm -rf "$tmp_dir"
opkg (webOS)
mkdir -p /etc/opkg/keys
curl -fsSL "https://pkgs.yeet.cx/webos/yeet.pub" -o /etc/opkg/keys/yeet.pub
echo "src/gz yeet https://pkgs.yeet.cx/webos/$(. /etc/os-release; echo $VERSION_ID)/$(uname -m)/stable" \
| sudo tee /etc/opkg/yeet.conf >/dev/null
sudo opkg update
sudo opkg install yeet
sudo systemctl enable --now yeetd
