Linux — RPM installation (Fedora / RHEL / Rocky)

All RPM packages are signed with the developer's GPG key. Import it once so RPM can verify the package:

sudo rpm --import https://mlcterm.mlcgo.eu/mlcterm-pubkey.asc

Verify the fingerprint:

gpg --show-keys mlcterm-pubkey.asc

Install with dnf (resolves runtime dependencies automatically):

sudo dnf install ./mlcterm-1.22.5-1.x86_64.rpm

Or verify the signature manually before installing:

rpm --checksig mlcterm-1.22.5-1.x86_64.rpm
# Expected: mlcterm-1.22.5-1.x86_64.rpm: digests signatures OK

Linux — Runtime dependencies

When installing via dnf, dependencies are resolved automatically. For manual rpm -ivh installs:

sudo dnf install webkit2gtk4.1 gtk3 glib2 libsoup3 gdk-pixbuf2

webkit2gtk4.1 Embedded web renderer (Wails UI)
gtk3 Native window chrome
glib2 GLib runtime
libsoup3 HTTP stack used by WebKit
gdk-pixbuf2 Image loading

Troubleshooting

App not showing in menu after Linux install:
Run manually once to refresh caches:

gtk-update-icon-cache -q -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor
update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications

webkit2gtk4.1 not found on older Fedora/RHEL:
Try the older variant:

sudo dnf install webkit2gtk3

App does not start via X11 forwarding:

GDK_BACKEND=x11 WEBKIT_DISABLE_SANDBOX=1 mlcterm

Uninstall:

sudo rpm -e mlcterm
# or
sudo dnf remove mlcterm
