Installing AmneziaVPN on Linux

Supported distributions

We only guarantee out-of-the-box support for the standard distribution releases listed below. Other Linux distributions may also support installing and running AmneziaVPN, but they are not officially supported.

On any Linux distribution:

• you must have administrator privileges to install AmneziaVPN.
• do not disable the IPv6 subsystem — the Connect button in AmneziaVPN stops working if you use sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1.

Latest stable release of AmneziaVPN: https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client/releases/latest.

All available AmneziaVPN versions: https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client/releases.

Download the archive for the appropriate version, extract it, and run the .bin file. If the installer or the app doesn't start, use the commands for your distribution below.

Debian 13 (x64)

Use AmneziaVPN 4.8.12.9 or later. Earlier versions of AmneziaVPN are not supported on Debian 13.

To run the AmneziaVPN installer and app, install the required system library packages:

sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0 libxcb-xinerama0 libxcb-icccm4 libxcb-keysyms1 libopengl0

---

Debian 12 (x64)

Use AmneziaVPN 4.8.11.4 or earlier. Newer versions of AmneziaVPN are not supported on Debian 12.

To run the AmneziaVPN installer and app, install the required system library packages:

sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0 libxcb-xinerama0 libxcb-icccm4 libxcb-keysyms1 libopengl0

You may also need this command if you use Xorg instead of Wayland or run sudo AmneziaVPN.

For correct AmneziaVPN-service log output, install the iptables package:

sudo apt install iptables

If you set a root password during OS installation, your regular user account, for example user1, may be created without administrator privileges. To fix this:

1. Open a terminal as user1 and switch to root using the root password:

   su root

2. Add user1 to the sudo group:

   sudo usermod -aG sudo user1
