Alpine

Install Gnoblin on Alpine from the Gnoblin package repository. See platform support for the supported releases and architectures.

Install

Add the Gnoblin signing key and repository, then install Gnoblin. Run these commands as root, or with doas:

wget -O /etc/apk/keys/gnoblin.rsa.pub https://repo.gnoblin.org/gnoblin.rsa.pub
echo https://repo.gnoblin.org/gnoblin/stable/alpine/edge >> /etc/apk/repositories
apk update
apk add gnoblin

To follow the main branch instead of releases, use nightly in place of stable in the address.

Next steps

Install a desktop shell and log in.

Update

apk update
apk upgrade gnoblin

Log out and back in to use the new version.

Remove

Log in to another session first, then run:

apk del gnoblin

Your shell and your configuration stay. Remove the shell separately if you do not want it.

See troubleshooting if the session does not start.
