Installation

Requirements

Linux

If you use Snap, Flatpak or Appimage, you may skip this section.

For Czkawka GUI you are required to have at least GTK 3.22 and also Alsa installed (for finding broken music files, but it is disabled by default).
It should be installed by default on all the most popular distros.

Ubuntu/Debian

sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev

Fedora/CentOS

sudo yum install gtk3-devel glib2-devel

Void Linux (CLI only)

sudo xbps-install gcc pkg-config alsa-lib-devel

macOS

Currently, you need to manually install GTK 3 libraries, because they are dynamically loaded from the OS (we need help in using static linking). One very straight-forward way to do this is by using Homebrew. Installation in the terminal:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
brew install gtk+3

After that, go to the location where you downloaded Czkawka and add the executable permission to this file.

chmod +x mac_czkawka_gui

At the end execute it:

./mac_czkawka_gui

Windows

By default, all needed libraries are bundled with app inside windows_czkawka_gui.zip, but if you compile app or just move czkawka_gui.exe, then you need to install the GTK 3 runtime from here.

Installation

Precompiled binaries

Ready-to-go executables for Linux, Windows and macOS are available here.
If the app does not run when clicking at a launcher, run it through a terminal.
You don't need to have any additional libraries for CLI Czkawka.

Nightly Builds

Artifacts from each commit can be downloaded here

Appimage

Appimage files are available in release page - GitHub releases
This version is bundled with own theme.
There is also a small problem with not being able to open 2 images at once.

Cargo

The easiest method to install Czkawka is using the cargo command. For compiling it, you need to get all the requirements from the compilation section.

cargo install czkawka_gui
cargo install czkawka_cli

You can update the package with the same command.

Snap

sudo snap install czkawka

By default, Snap can only access to the files in your home directory. You have to allow czkawka to access to all the drives:

sudo snap connect czkawka:removable-media

The Snap store entry can be found here.

Fresh builds are available in edge branch, but they may be a little unstable, although that happens very rarely because I don't push untested code.

Flatpak

flatpak install flathub com.github.qarmin.czkawka

Flathub page with Czkawka can be found here
