# Pale Moon for Linux installer
- Version 0.2.3
---
## Using the installer
- Extract the contents of the archive to your home directory.
- Run the "pminstaller.sh" script from the file manager by double clicking on
it. If this does not work for some reason, then enter the following into a
terminal window:
~/pminstaller.sh
(Assuming the "pminstaller.sh" script is placed in the home directory, as
mentioned above).
- Follow the on-screen prompts to download and install Pale Moon.
Notes:
- At this time, the pminstaller can only download and install the latest
version of Pale Moon. If you need a specific version of the browser, you'll
have to download and extract it manually.
- Some file managers treat the pminstaller.sh file as a normal text file and
will try to open it as such (in a text editor). In such cases you must run the
installer in a terminal using this command:
/path/to/the/installer/pminstaller.sh
- Do not invoke the installer as root (e.g. "sudo ./pminstaller.sh"). On some
distros, the sudo command will strip the XAUTHORITY variable (without which any
graphical program cannot run). The installer automatically elevates itself
using su(do).
- If you recieve a "Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display" error when trying to
run the installer, ensure that xhost is installed on your system then try to
run the installer again.
- The installer may not run on some "lightweight" distributions since the
standard command line tools use busybox (which does not implement all features
of the required command line tools).
- If the installer does not run because the built-in copy of yad complains
about being unable to load a particular library, then you likely do not have
the basic dependencies required for any recent Mozilla based product. Please
update the related libraries and try again.
- If you have any specialized requirements that the installer does not serve
out of the box, then please use the manual installation instructions on the
Pale Moon for Linux site (https://linux.palemoon.org/help/installation/).
- For further information, please check the pminstaller release notes or visit
the forum.
## Support
If you need support, please post on the dedicated Linux board of the Pale Moon
forum.
Support is not provided for older versions of the installer. Please use the
latest version at all times.
