## Installing WiVRn ## Installing WiVRn
We recommend using [Envision](/docs/fossvr/envision/) to install and launch WiVRn & OpenComposite. Envision will handle all configuration seamlessly and avoids many of the pitfalls of a manual setup. We recommend using distribution packages when available or the [WiVRn Flatpak](https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.wivrn.wivrn).
Alternatively, you can use the [WiVRn Flatpak](https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.wivrn.wivrn) which includes OpenComposite as part of it. Processes in Flatpak cannot take advantage of setcap, and so your performance may suffer when compared to Envision. ### Arch Linux
Packages are available on [AUR](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository), you will need the following packages:
* `wivrn-server` and `wivrn-dashboard` for base feature + GUI (latest release), or `wivrn-full-git` for development version
* `opencomposite-git` or `xrizer-git` for compatibility with OpenVR and proton
### Gentoo Linux
Packages are available on [Guru](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:GURU), you will need `media-libs/wivrn` and `media-libs/opencomposite`
### Flatpak (all distributions)
The [WiVRn Flatpak](https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.wivrn.wivrn) has the latest released version. For development releases, you can download the `wivrn-flatpak-x86_64` artifact from Github [Build](https://github.com/WiVRn/WiVRn/actions/workflows/Build.yml?query=branch%3Amaster) action
### Envision (guided build)
You can use [Envision](/docs/fossvr/envision/) to install and launch WiVRn & OpenComposite.
