Using on Linux

Ghost Downloader on Linux requires glibc 2.35+. You can install it from the release page or from AUR.

Download `.deb` or `.AppImage` packages.

Prebuilt AUR package for most Arch users.

AUR package that tracks the latest repository commits.

Install from AUR

Prebuilt package:

yay -S ghost-downloader-bin

or:

paru -S ghost-downloader-bin

If you want the package that tracks the latest repository commits instead of the stable build:

yay -S ghost-downloader-git

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/ghost-downloader-bin.git
cd ghost-downloader-bin
makepkg -si

For the rolling source-based package, replace the repository name with ghost-downloader-git.

On Debian / Ubuntu, download the .deb package and install it:

sudo apt install ./Ghost-Downloader-v*.deb

On other distributions, you can use the .AppImage package:

chmod +x Ghost-Downloader-v*.AppImage
./Ghost-Downloader-v*.AppImage

On Arch / Manjaro, AUR packages are usually the easiest option for updates and removal.

After the first launch, confirm that your download directory, proxy settings, and browser extension pairing are configured as expected.

Which AUR Package Should I Use?

Most users should choose ghost-downloader-bin. Choose ghost-downloader-git only if you explicitly want to follow the latest repository commits.
