If you're running on a Ubuntu or Debian based operating system to you can use `apt`.
```
curl -SsL https://playit-cloud.github.io/ppa/key.gpg | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/playit.gpg >/dev/null
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/playit.gpg] https://playit-cloud.github.io/ppa/data ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playit-cloud.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install playit
```
----
Playit also releases raw binaries that you can download and run. You can download the latest version of the playit.gg program from [playit.gg/download](https://playit.gg/download).
When you try to run the program, you might get errors like
![linux bad run ubuntu]({{< static "post-img/linux-run-bad-ubuntu.png" >}})
![linux bad run cli]({{< static "post-img/linux-run-bad-cli.png" >}})
**The Fix**
You'll need to make the program runnable on linux. You can do this by running `chmod +x`.
```bash
cd ~/Downloads # cd into the folder where the playit program is located
chmod +x playit-linux-amd64
./playit-linux-amd64
```
To download and run the playit program you can use
```bash
wget https://github.com/playit-cloud/playit-agent/releases/download/v{{< latest-version >}}/playit-linux-amd64
chmod +x playit-linux-amd64
./playit-linux-amd64
```
