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:

• :material-gnome: Gnome
• :simple-kde: KDE (work in progress)

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:

yay -S apparmor.d-git  # or your preferred AUR install method

Or without a AUR helper:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/apparmor.d-git.git
cd apparmor.d-git
makepkg -si

: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

:simple-suse: OpenSUSE

Build and install from source:

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.

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.
@{bin}/wl-{copy,paste} rPx,
@{bin}/xclip           rPx,
@{bin}/python3.[0-9]* rPx -> pass-import,  # pass-import
    @{bin}/pager         rPx -> child-pager,
    @{bin}/less          rPx -> child-pager,
    @{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.
