Installing RKWard on Linux/Unix: Binaries and build instructions
This page provides links to the relevant information pages for the various distributions for which official or inofficial packages are available.
If your distribution is not listed, or does not provide an up-to-date-package, consider building RKWard from source, and/or filing a support ticket against your distribution.
Appimage
The upcoming KF6-based version of RKWard will be available in AppImage packaging, and development versions can already be downloaded from https://cdn.kde.org/ci-builds/education/rkward/master/. Download the package, set the executable bit, and it should run on most current distributions (it is advised to install R, separately).
The latest official release at the time of this writing (RKWard 0.7.5) is not yet available in AppImage packaging, however.
