# On Linux
## Install
<a href="https://repology.org/project/scrcpy/versions"><img src="https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/scrcpy.svg" alt="Packaging status" align="right"></a>
Scrcpy is packaged in several distributions and package managers:
- Debian/Ubuntu: `apt install scrcpy`
- Arch Linux: `pacman -S scrcpy`
- Fedora: `dnf copr enable zeno/scrcpy && dnf install scrcpy`
- Gentoo: `emerge scrcpy`
- Snap: `snap install scrcpy`
- … (see [repology](https://repology.org/project/scrcpy/versions))
### Latest version
However, the packaged version is not always the latest release. To install the
latest release from `master`, follow this simplified process.
First, you need to install the required packages:
```bash
# for Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt install ffmpeg libsdl2-2.0-0 adb wget \
gcc git pkg-config meson ninja-build libsdl2-dev \
libavcodec-dev libavdevice-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev \
libswresample-dev libusb-1.0-0 libusb-1.0-0-dev
```
Then clone the repo and execute the installation script
([source](/install_release.sh)):
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy
cd scrcpy
./install_release.sh
```
When a new release is out, update the repo and reinstall:
```bash
git pull
./install_release.sh
```
To uninstall:
```bash
sudo ninja -Cbuild-auto uninstall
```
_Note that this simplified process only works for released versions (it
downloads a prebuilt server binary), so for example you can't use it for testing
the development branch (`dev`)._
_See [build.md](build.md) to build and install the app manually._
## Run
_Make sure that your device meets the [prerequisites](/README.md#prerequisites)._
Once installed, run from a terminal:
```bash
scrcpy
```
or with arguments (here to disable audio and record to `file.mkv`):
```bash
scrcpy --no-audio --record=file.mkv
```
Documentation for command line arguments is available:
- `man scrcpy`
- `scrcpy --help`
- on [github](/README.md)
