packages.usepitboard.com gives apt, dnf and zypper the app and the command line, for x86_64 and aarch64. The app needs Debian 13, Ubuntu 26.04, Fedora 43 and later, or openSUSE Tumbleweed, with GNOME or KDE Plasma. Until 1.0.0, Pitboard’s packages are in the beta channel alone, which these steps set up. Its indices and RPM packages are signed with Pitboard’s repository key, whose fingerprint is 22DCF748069770D807A1804F47C507760C9A97E3. Go on only if your system shows the same.

​
Set up apt

On Debian 13 and Ubuntu 26.04:
1

Download the key and the setup files

If your system has no curl, install it first with sudo apt install curl.
2

Check the key

If the fingerprint under pub differs, delete the three files and stop.
3

Install the app

apt also installs pitboard, the command line, and pitboard-archive-keyring, which brings each later copy of the key. For the command line alone, install pitboard.

​
Set up dnf

On Fedora 43 and later:
dnf first says repomd.xml GPG signature verification error: Signing key not found, then asks to import the key:
Enter y if the fingerprint matches. dnf asks again before it installs the packages. It also installs pitboard, the command line. For the command line alone, install pitboard.

​
Set up zypper

On openSUSE Tumbleweed:
zypper shows the key it received and asks Do you want to reject the key, trust temporarily, or trust always?. Enter a if its Key Fingerprint is 22DC F748 0697 70D8 07A1 804F 47C5 0776 0C9A 97E3. zypper also installs pitboard, the command line. For the command line alone, install pitboard.

​
Add the Plasma widget

On KDE Plasma 6.4 or later, install pitboard-plasma-widget as you installed the app, such as sudo apt install pitboard-plasma-widget. It installs the app with it. Debian 13 has Plasma 6.3, so apt refuses it there.

​
Choose a channel

Until 1.0.0, stable holds no release. apt refuses it with does not have a Release file, dnf says Usable URL not found, and zypper says Repository type can't be determined. To move to the other channel, replace its setup file. The version installed stays until the other channel holds a higher one. With apt:
With dnf:
With zypper:
These move from beta to stable. To move back, swap pitboard and pitboard-beta in them. On openSUSE, zypper dup installs the version the channel holds, even one lower than the version installed.

​
Remove the repository

Remove Pitboard first, as Remove Pitboard itself says. Then, with apt:
With dnf:
With zypper:

​
Arch Linux and other systems

Pitboard has no package for other systems. Install the command line with the install script or Homebrew. The app builds with Meson, as Build the app says.
