Installing r0
r0 currently publishes desktop downloads for Windows and Linux. Visit the latest GitHub release and choose the installer or package for your operating system and processor. The full release archive contains previous versions and checksums.
Windows
Direct installer
- Open the latest GitHub release.
- Download
R0_<version>_x64-setup.exefor most PCs orR0_<version>_arm64-setup.exefor Windows on ARM. - Open the downloaded installer and follow its prompts.
PowerShell
Open PowerShell and run:
irm https://r0-ide.vercel.app/install.ps1 | iex
The installer selects the matching Windows architecture, verifies the downloaded installer against the release SHA-256 checksum, and starts setup. Because this command runs a remote script, review the installer source before running it if you want to inspect its behavior.
Command Prompt
In cmd.exe, run:
powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "Invoke-Expression (Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing 'https://r0-ide.vercel.app/install.ps1').Content"
This invokes the same Windows installer through PowerShell from Command Prompt.
Linux
Open the latest GitHub release and select a package for your distribution and processor:
- Debian or Ubuntu: download the
.debpackage, then install it withsudo apt install ./<downloaded-file>.deb. Choose theamd64package for x64 or thearm64package for ARM64. - Fedora or another RPM-based distribution: download the
.rpmpackage and install withsudo dnf install ./<downloaded-file>.rpm. Choose the x86_64 or aarch64 package matching your system. - AppImage: download the matching AppImage, make it executable with
chmod +x <downloaded-file>.AppImage, then launch it with./<downloaded-file>.AppImage. - Portable archive: extract the archive for
linux-x86_64orlinux-aarch64, then runr0from the extracted directory.
The portable Linux archive uses the system WebKitGTK 4.1 libraries. Check the release notes for package prerequisites and architecture details.
