Download
Downloads are listed here for all the supported platforms.
For most use cases, you can install any supported version on both client and server.
The source can be downloaded directly from https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra, or using release snapshots:
- pypi releases (preferred)
- xpra.org (identical to pypi)
- github releases (use as backup solution only)
All the binary downloads are signed using the PGP key https://xpra.org/xpra.asc aka F18AD6BB
, the key fingerprint is B499 3B57 3231 48E3 7977 E5D8 7325 4CAD 1797 8FAF
.
For rather tedious reasons, you may need to import two almost identical versions of this key to use the repositories on Debian systems.

Download Links
Format | Light Build | GPG Signature | Full Build | GPG Signature |
---|---|---|---|---|
EXE |
Xpra-Light-x86_64_Setup.exe | Xpra-x86_64_Setup.exe | ||
MSI |
Xpra-Light-x86_64.msi | Xpra-Light-x86_64.msi | ||
ZIP |
Xpra-Light.zip | Xpra-Light.zip |
The Light
builds have more limited codec support and do not include any of the server components, which is why those builds use a lot less disk space.
The beta builds can be found here: https://xpra.org/beta/windows/
You can also install xpra using MSYS2 by running pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-xpra
. There are downsides to this installation method: no nvidia codecs or file association. You can control some of the components and dependencies manually, though this is not easy.

If MacOS complains that the application is damaged, run: sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Xpra.app
The beta MacOS builds can be found here: https://xpra.org/beta/MacOS
The Linux stable repositories are all found here: https://xpra.org/dists/
The beta repositories are here: https://xpra.org/beta/
Automated repository installation for supported distributions (Fedora, RHEL and clones, Debian and Ubuntu):
git clone https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra
cd xpra
./setup.py install-repo
Then you can just install xpra
using your package manager.
Starting with version 6, xpra packages make extensive use of sub-packages.
As long as you avoid buggy downstream packages, installing xpra
using your package manager should install the client and server components as well as most picture codecs and audio support.
Download Links
- download the chosen repository file (stable or beta) into
/etc/yum.repos.d
as root, ie: for Fedora:
wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/xpra.repo https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Xpra-org/xpra/master/packaging/repos/Fedora/xpra.repo
dnf install xpra
Distribution | Stable Repository file | Beta Repository File | Extra Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Fedora | xpra.repo | xpra-beta.repo | |
AlmaLinux | xpra.repo | xpra-beta.repo | enable crb and EPEL
|
RockyLinux | xpra.repo | xpra-beta.repo | enable crb and EPEL
|
RedHat Enterprise Linux | use AlmaLinux repository | use AlmaLinux repository | |
CentOS | use AlmaLinux repository | use AlmaLinux repository | |
CentOS Stream | xpra.repo | xpra-beta.repo | |
OracleLinux | xpra.repo | xpra-beta.repo |
Starting with version 5, the RPM packages depend on rpmfusion packages for some codecs, RHEL and clones also depend on EPEL packages.
To enable crb: dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
Should you wish to do so, you can also build your own packages.
Download Links
- ensure the SSL certificates are up to date:
sudo apt install ca-certificates
- import the key used for signing the packages (newer Debian releases require a newer key, a newer sources format, etc):
(if the file already exists, you may hit some problems )
sudo wget -O "/usr/share/keyrings/xpra.asc" https://xpra.org/xpra.asc
- download the appropriate repository file (see table below) into
/etc/apt/sources.list.d
as root:
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d ; wget $REPOFILE
- then run
apt update ; apt install xpra
Distribution | Stable Repository file | Beta Repository File |
---|---|---|
Debian Bullseye | xpra.sources | xpra-beta.sources |
Debian Bookworm | xpra.sources | xpra-beta.sources |
Debian Trixie | (*) use beta only until ABI is stable | xpra-beta.sources |
Debian Sid | (*) use beta only | xpra-beta.sources |
Ubuntu Bionic Beaver (*) | xpra.sources | xpra-beta.sources |
Ubuntu Focal Fossa | xpra.sources | xpra-beta.sources |
Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish | xpra.sources | xpra-beta.sources |
Ubuntu Mantic Minotaur | xpra.sources | xpra-beta.sources |
Ubuntu Noble Nombat | xpra.sources | xpra-beta.sources |
Ubuntu Oracular Oriole | (*) use beta only until ABI is stable | xpra-beta.sources |
The DEB repositories may require the "universe" repository source to be activated to get all the features.
(*) Distributions that do not provide a stable ABI should enable the beta repository.
(*) Older distributions can only run xpra 3.1.x and not later versions.
Step by step example for installing the stable repository on Ubuntu Noble Numbat
Execute these commands as root
(ie: using `sudo):
DISTRO=noble
#install https support for apt (which may be installed already):
apt update
apt install apt-transport-https software-properties-common
apt install ca-certificates
# add xpra GPG key:
wget -O "/usr/share/keyrings/xpra.asc" https://xpra.org/xpra.asc
# add the xpra repository:
wget -O "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/xpra.sources" https://xpra.org/repos/$DISTRO/xpra.sources
# add the optional beta channel:
# wget -O "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/xpra-beta.sources" https://xpra.org/repos/$DISTRO/xpra-beta.sources
# install the xpra package:
apt update
apt install xpra
For other distributions, simply change DISTRO
to match your distribution name.
