Installation

!!! danger

In order to not break your system, the default package configuration install
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:

• :material-gnome: Gnome

Also, please note wayland has better support than xorg.

Build dependencies

• Go
• Rsync

:material-arch: Archlinux

apparmor.d-git is available in the Arch User Repository:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/apparmor.d-git.git
cd apparmor.d-git
makepkg -s
sudo pacman -U apparmor.d-*.pkg.tar.zst \
  --overwrite etc/apparmor.d/tunables/global \
  --overwrite etc/apparmor.d/tunables/xdg-user-dirs \
  --overwrite etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/trash

The overwrite options are only required on the first install. You can use yay or your preferred AUR install method to update it.

!!! note

The following Archlinux based distributions are supported:

- [x] CachyOS
- [x] EndeavourOS
- [x] :material-manjaro: Manjaro Linux

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

Build the package from sources:

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

Partial install

!!! warning

Partial installation is discouraged because profile dependencies are
not fetched. You may need to either switch desired `rPx` rules to `rPUx`
(fallback to unconfined) or install these related profiles.
(PR is welcome see [#77](https://github.com/roddhjav/apparmor.d/issues/77))

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

./configure --complain
make
sudo make profile-names...
