Installing

Every release has packages for x86-64 and ARM64 Linux on its GitHub release page. They’re built on Debian 12, so they run on Debian 12, Ubuntu 22.04, and anything newer.

Note

There’s no release yet. Until there is, build it from source.

Arch Linux (AUR)

paru -S vinculum-bin   # the prebuilt binary
paru -S vinculum       # or built from source

Debian, Ubuntu

sudo apt install ./vinculum_<version>-1_amd64.deb   # arm64.deb on ARM

Fedora, openSUSE

sudo dnf install ./vinculum-<version>-1.x86_64.rpm   # aarch64.rpm on ARM

AppImage

Runs on most distributions without installing anything:

chmod +x Vinculum-<version>-x86_64.AppImage
./Vinculum-<version>-x86_64.AppImage

Tarball

Vinculum-<version>-linux-x64.tar.gz (or -arm64) holds the vinculum binary, plus the desktop file, AppStream metainfo and icon under packaging/linux/, for packagers.

From source

You need Rust and fontconfig’s development files (libfontconfig1-dev on Debian and Ubuntu, fontconfig-devel on Fedora).

git clone https://github.com/giosuel/vinculum
cd vinculum
cargo build --release
./target/release/vinculum
