Supported Systems

We provide packages for Nix, Arch Linux, and Alpine Linux, as well as dedicated guides for manual installation on Ubuntu or Debian.

Since Rosenpass was released not too long ago, packaging is an ongoing process. You can find the latest information about all the Linux distributions we support on Repology.

Even if your distribution is not listed here, you can always compile Rosenpass yourself or download a pre-built, statically linked binary from our GitHub release page. You can also find OCI container images (Docker, Podman, etc.) there. While we only offer x86_64 builds, there’s no technical reason limiting Rosenpass to x86_64. Although we are not officially supporting it, you can try to compile Rosenpass for any architecture that is supported by liboqs and running Linux (or macOS).

How to install Rosenpass on your Linux distribution

If your distribution isn’t listed below, you can install Rosenpass manually in just a few steps. We provide detailed installation instructions for Ubuntu, Debian, Arch Linux, and generic Linux systems.

pacman -S rosenpass

nix-env -iA nixos.rosenpass nixos.rosenpass-tools

nix profile install github:rosenpass/rosenpass#rosenpass

apk add rosenpass

As a quick test that the installation succeeded, run both tools with the help command to show a short usage hint:

rosenpass help

rp help
