# Installation
## GNU/ or musl/Linux
### flatpak
If you have flatpak, you can install kazv via flatpak. Because flatpak currently cannot be built in an unprivileged container, we are unfortunately unable to provide a built image as a part of CI/CD. See [this flatpak bug][flatpak-docker-bug] for more details. It seems that upstream is very uninterested in resolving this security issue, as this bug report has been open for more than five years with zero (0) comment from Collaborators of this repository.
[flatpak-docker-bug]: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/3027
However, we will release *manually-built* flatpak packages from version 0.6.0 onwards. You can also build the flatpak via the instructions specified in the README file in the `packaging/GNU-Linux/flatpak` directory.
### Gentoo
If you are using Gentoo, you can use [tusooa-overlay][tusooa-overlay]
to install kazv.
[tusooa-overlay]: https://gitlab.com/tusooa/tusooa-overlay

Stable kazv is available as a [part of nixpkgs][nixpkgs].
Development version is available in [XYenon's nur-packages repository][xyenon-repo].
