Apple Silicon apps are required to be signed and notarised with an Apple developer account. So it is necessary to manually remove the quarantine flag: ``` xattr -c "/Applications/Popcorn-Time.app/" ``` ### Linux - Debian/Ubuntu based distros: Download and install: * **Latest release**: check [popcorn-time.site](https://popcorn-time.site) or the repo's [releases page](https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop/releases) * Or **latest dev build (for testers)**: check the repo's [actions page](https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop/actions) Via .deb package: _**Firstly, be aware** in some cases, missings dependencies packages (libatomic1, libgconf-2-4, libcanberra-gtk-module) were reported to be required for the app to works. **If the app don't start for you too**, in this case, **try `sudo apt update && sudo apt install libatomic1 libgconf-2-4 libcanberra-gtk-module`** to be sure your system have the required dependencies._ Via archive and command line (tested on ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04): 1.

Create popcorn-time folder in /opt/: `sudo mkdir /opt/popcorn-time` 3. Install unzip && dependencies (they should not be always required but some users needed them to make Popcorn Time working): `sudo apt update && sudo apt install unzip libcanberra-gtk-module libgconf-2-4 libatomic1` 4. Extract the zip in /opt/popcorn-time: `sudo unzip Popcorn-Time-0.5.1-linux64.zip -d /opt/popcorn-time` 5. Create symlink of Popcorn-Time in /usr/bin: `sudo ln -sf /opt/popcorn-time/Popcorn-Time /usr/bin/popcorn-time` 6. Create .desktop file (so the launcher): `sudo nano /usr/share/applications/popcorntime.desktop` 7. and copy paste the following text in the editor and save ```desktop [Desktop Entry] Version = 1.0 Type = Application Terminal = false Name = Popcorn Time Exec = /usr/bin/popcorn-time Icon = /opt/popcorn-time/src/app/images/icon.png Categories = Application; ``` ## Getting Started If you're comfortable getting up and running from a `git clone`, this method is for you.
