Linux (x86_64) Installation Guide

Step-by-step instructions for downloading, cryptographically verifying, installing, updating, and cleanly removing Nivara Browser.

1. Download & Cryptographic Verification

Download the official binary package and verify its integrity against the Navavritti Foundation Ed25519 signing key before executing:

# 1. Verify SHA-256 Checksum
sha256sum nivara-1.0.0-beta.4-linux-x64.tar.bz2
# Expected: b83f7a111e8005379bb44804e32419fac2328bcff13826ff93afcc07fb02f234

# 2. Verify Minisign Signature
minisign -Vm nivara-1.0.0-beta.4-linux-x64.tar.bz2 -P RWQ8wNavavrittiPublicInterestKey2026Ed25519ProductionMaster

2. Installation & First Launch

  1. Extract the tarball: tar -xjf nivara-1.0.0-beta.4-linux-x64.tar.bz2 -C /opt/
  2. Create desktop shortcut: cp /opt/nivara/nivara.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
  3. Launch with /opt/nivara/nivara or select Nivara from your application menu.

3. Automated Updates & Uninstallation

Updates: Nivara checks https://navavritti.org/api/nivara/releases/latest automatically. Updates are validated via cryptographic hash and signature before atomic in-place replacement.

Clean Uninstallation: Delete the Nivara application and optionally remove your user profile located at: ~/.nivara.
