title: Installation

!!! danger

    In order to not break your system, the default package configuration installs
    all profiles in complain mode. They can be enforced later.
    See the [Enforce Mode](/enforce) page.

## Requirements

**AppArmor**

An `apparmor` based Linux distribution is required. The basic profiles and
abstractions shipped with AppArmor must be installed.

**Desktop environment**

The following desktop environments are supported:

  - [x] :material-gnome: Gnome

Also, please note wayland has better support than xorg.

**Build dependencies**

* Go >= 1.18
* Rsync

## :material-arch: Archlinux

`apparmor.d-git` is available in the [Arch User Repository][aur]:
```sh
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/apparmor.d-git.git
cd apparmor.d-git
makepkg -si
```

!!! note

    If your Archlinux based distribution is not recognized, force it with:
    ```sh
    DISTRIBUTION=arch makepkg -si
    ```



## :material-ubuntu: Ubuntu & :material-debian: Debian


Build the package from sources:
```sh
sudo apt install apparmor-profiles build-essential config-package-dev debhelper golang-go rsync git
git clone https://github.com/roddhjav/apparmor.d.git
cd apparmor.d
dpkg-buildpackage -b -d --no-sign
sudo dpkg -i ../apparmor.d_*_all.deb
```


## :simple-suse: OpenSUSE

Build and install from source:
```sh
make
sudo make install
sudo systemctl restart apparmor
```

!!! note

    RPM package is still a work in progress. Help is welcome.


## Partial install

For test purposes, you can install specific profiles with the following commands.
Abstractions, tunables, and most of the OS dependent post-processing is managed.

```sh
make
sudo make profile-names...
```

!!! warning

    Partial installation is discouraged because profile dependencies are not fetched. To prevent some apparmor issues, the dependencies are automatically switched to unconfined (`rPx` -> `rPUx`). The installation process warns on the missing profiles so that you can easily install them if desired. (PR is welcome see [#77](https://github.com/roddhjav/apparmor.d/issues/77))

    For instance, `sudo make pass` gives:
    ```sh
    Warning: profile dependencies fallback to unconfined.
    /{usr/,}bin/wl-{copy,paste} rPx,
    /{usr/,}bin/xclip           rPx,
    /{usr/,}bin/python3.[0-9]* rPx -> pass-import,  # pass-import
        /{usr/,}bin/pager         rPx -> child-pager,
        /{usr/,}bin/less          rPx -> child-pager,
        /{usr/,}bin/more          rPx -> child-pager,
    '.build/apparmor.d/pass' -> '/etc/apparmor.d/pass'
    ```
    So, you can install the additional profiles `wl-copy`, `xclip`, `pass-import`, and `child-pager` if desired.
