How to install on Ubuntu

  1. Press the install button above. TuxPick opens with these apps already ticked. Add anything else you need.
  2. Download the installer file.
  3. Open a terminal with Ctrl Alt T, run the one line TuxPick shows you, and type your password when asked.

It works on Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04, and on systems built on them like Zorin OS and Pop!_OS.
