OpenFDE daily/testing Version Installation Guide

OpenFDE daily/testing Version Installation Guide

The OpenFDE test packages (testing/daily) are now available over the public network. For information about OpenFDE system support, see https://openfde.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OpenFDEEN/pages/2917184/Quick+Installtion#1.-System-Requirements%E2%80%8B

Two installation methods are provided below: automated installation via script and manual configuration.

Installation Method 1: Automated Installation via Script

  1. Download and install the script:

wget https://openfde.com/getopenfde/get-openfde14.sh

Specify the version and run it (choose either channel):

sudo bash get-openfde14.sh testing # or sudo bash get-openfde14.sh daily
  1. Based on the official deb source, the script will additionally add the testing or daily source and automatically install the latest test package from the corresponding source.

Installation Method 2: Manually Configure the testing or daily Source

  1. Edit the source list:

    sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openfde.list

2. Add a new line to change the version identifier (e.g., V10SP1) to V10SP1-testing or V10SP1-daily , save and exit the edit. The testing source list file is as follows.

deb [arch=arm64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.openfde.gpg] https://openfde.com/repos/kylin/ V10SP1 main deb [arch=arm64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.openfde.gpg] https://openfde.com/repos/kylin/ V10SP1-testing main

The daily source list file is as follows.

deb [arch=arm64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.openfde.gpg] https://openfde.com/repos/kylin/ V10SP1 main deb [arch=arm64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.openfde.gpg] https://openfde.com/repos/kylin/ V10SP1-daily main

3. Update the index and install:

  1. sudo apt update sudo apt install openfde14

Note: The two installation methods above will install the testing/daily version by default
Because the version number of the mainline stable release is usually lower than that of the testing/daily builds, if the testing or daily source has already been added to the system, running sudo apt install openfde14, will install the testing or daily version (not the mainline stable release).

  • The mainline stable version will be installed only if any of the following conditions are met:
    1) Explicitly specify the version number, for example:
    sudo apt install openfde14=2.0.5-20260211xxx
    2) In /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openfde.list , comment out or remove the second testing/daily source line added in Manual Step 2, then run sudo apt update and install again.
