You can either compile Otter Browser from source or use pre-compiled binaries.
To build Otter Browser, you will need the following dependencies: Qt 5.6.0 (or newer), OpenSSL 1.0 (or newer, depending on your Qt version), GStreamer 1.0 (or newer) and codecs, and CMake 3.1.0 (or newer). At the root of the directory where the source code is stored, execute these commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
make install
Detailed instructions are available in the INSTALL.md file in the root of the repository.
Linux users can use the official AppImage version available on SourceForge. It is a single executable file that doesn’t need any dependencies to be installed. The AppImage version should run under any system installed after 2012 provided it has OpenSSL 1.0.x (not 1.1.x) and GStreamer 1.x (with codecs). The browser is also available in the repositories of a wide range of Linux distributions and *BSD systems. Read more on the dedicated wiki page.
Windows users can download binary Releases.
DMG packages are available on SourceForge.
Otter Browser is your browser. Because it is free software (GPL v3), you can contribute to make it better. New contributors are always welcome, whether you write code, create resources, report bugs, or suggest features.
The browser is written primarily in C++ and leverages powerful features offered by the Qt5 framework.
We also use JavaScript for interacting with rendering engines (when native APIs are not available) and Python 3 is our preferred language for creating tools to ease development.
Have a look at the open issues to find a mission that resonates with you.
We use Transifex to translate Otter Browser.
To stay informed of Otter development, bug fixes and new features, you can join the official forum. We also have two IRC channels on Libera.Chat: #otter-browser (international) and #otter-browser-pl (polski / Polish).
