# How to get and install OwnTone

You can compile and run OwnTone on pretty much any Linux- or BSD-platform. The instructions are here.

Apt repositories, images and precompiled binaries are available for some platforms. These can save you some work and make it easier to stay up to date:

Platform | How to get
--- | ---
RPi w/Raspberry Pi OS | Add OwnTone repository to apt sources (See: Raspberry Pi Forums)
Debian/Ubuntu amd64 | Download the .deb package as artifact from the Github workflow (requires that you are logged in)
OpenWrt | Run `opkg install libwebsockets-full owntone`
Docker / Podman | See official image See alternate image
FreeBSD | Run `pkg install owntone` (See: FreeBSD ports)

OwnTone is not in the official Debian repositories due to lack of Debian maintainer and Debian policy difficulties concerning the web UI, see this issue.
