Method 2: Ubuntu PPA
If you're running Ubuntu, you can install Nitrocid KS using the Ubuntu PPA. Just follow these steps:
Open your terminal emulator and execute the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eofla/nitrocid
sudo apt update
Install the
nitrocid
package and follow the instructions (appending the-XX
suffix to indicate the third mod API version part, such as28
)sudo apt install nitrocid-28
Start
ks
(appending the same suffix above, likeks-28
), or use your app drawer to findNitrocid KS
corresponding to your installed mod API version
You can choose between the version series that you want to upgrade in the output of the apt
command when it prompts you to select one of them, as nitrocid
is a virtual package.
Method 3: Arch Linux AUR
If you're running Arch, you can install Nitrocid KS using the Arch Linux AUR. Just follow these steps:
Open your terminal emulator and install your preferred AUR helper. Further steps assume that you have Yay installed.
Install the

Start
ks

You can't install the release version and the cutting-edge (those with the -git
suffix) version at the same time, since files conflict.
