Linux

Flatpak (Recommended)

If your system does not already have Flatpak installed, please do so by following the instructions on https://www.flatpak.org/setup/

Once Flatpak is installed (can test by running flatpak in the terminal), you will also need to install the Flathub repository by running:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Now you can download the Cake Wallet Flatpak from the releases on GitHub https://github.com/cake-tech/cake_wallet/releases and select the Cake_Wallet_vX.X.X.flatpak file to download. (Example: Cake_Wallet_v4.18.2_Linux.flatpak)

Assuming the Cake Wallet flatpak is in the Downloads directory, install it with:

flatpak install ~/Downloads/Cake_Wallet_v4.18.2_Linux.flatpak

(Change the version number to the one you downloaded.)

After confirming the installation, launch Cake Wallet from your shortcuts, or run it manually with:

flatpak run com.cakewallet.cake_wallet

Manual (tar.xz)

Download the tar.xz release from GitHub https://github.com/cake-tech/cake_wallet/releases (Example: Cake_Wallet_v4.18.2_Linux.tar.xz)

Extract the archive using your file explorer or from the terminal:

tar -xf Cake_Wallet_vX.X.X.tar.xz

Run the executable by right-clicking and selecting "Run" in your file explorer or starting it from the terminal:

./cake_wallet
