Welcome to the Linux/Mac OS Minecraft launcher wiki!

Getting started

We plan to provide an AppImage in the near future.

MacOS

A prebuilt macOS binary is available here. If you want to compile from sources on macOS go here.

Ubuntu 18.04+ apt repository

wget -O - https://mcpelauncher.mrarm.io/apt/conf/public.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://mcpelauncher.mrarm.io/apt/ubuntu/ bionic main'
sudo apt-get install msa-daemon msa-ui-qt mcpelauncher-client mcpelauncher-ui-qt

You will need to install 32 bit graphics drivers - for integrated graphics and most AMD GPUs libegl1-mesa:i386 libegl1-mesa-drivers:i386 will work.

If you want to compile from sources on Ubuntu 18.04+ go here

Ubuntu 16.04 apt repository

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:beineri/opt-qt596-xenial
wget -O - https://mcpelauncher.mrarm.io/apt/conf/public.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://mcpelauncher.mrarm.io/apt/ubuntu/ xenial main'
sudo apt-get install msa-daemon msa-ui-qt mcpelauncher-client mcpelauncher-ui-qt
# To launch do: . /opt/qt59/bin/qt59-env.sh && mcpelauncher-ui-qt

If you are on a 64 bit device, you must run sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 to enable 32 bit support. You will need to install 32 bit graphics drivers - for integrated graphics and most AMD GPUs libegl1-mesa:i386 libegl1-mesa-drivers:i386 will work.

If you want to compile from sources on Ubuntu 16.04 go here

Arch

There are Arch AUR packages available: mcpelauncher-msa-git mcpelauncher-msa-ui-qt-git for Xbox Live support (you need to install both), mcpelauncher-linux-git for the actual launcher and mcpelauncher-ui-git for the metalauncher (recommended).

So, summing it up you should install: mcpelauncher-msa-git mcpelauncher-msa-ui-qt-git mcpelauncher-linux-git mcpelauncher-ui-git

Source build

If there are no packages available for your repository, check out the Source build guide

You can also use the linux build script.
