title: Checkra1n GUI running on Arch Linux

You can run the GUI version of checkra1n on non Debian-based distributions.

## Introduction
|
|
|
|
The official cross-distribution build of checkra1n only contains a CLI and TUI. However, the version available in the [checkra1n APT repository](https://checkra.in/linux) also contains a GTK-based GUI which can be accessed using the `--gui` flag, or the included `checkra1n.desktop` file.
|
|
|
|
## Other Distributions
|
|
|
|
First, download the Debian package available at `https://assets.checkra.in/debian/checkra1n_VERSION_amd64.deb` (as of writing, `VERSION` is currently `0.12.2`). Then, extract the `checkra1n` executable from the package, and install the correct shared libraries. Here are the most important ones, and their corresponding package names on Arch Linux:
|
|
|
|
- libimobiledevice-1.0.so.6 (`libimobiledevice`)
|
|
- libirecovery-1.0.so.3 (`libirecovery`)
|
|
- libtvcontrol.so (`libtvcontrol`)
|
|
- libplist-2.0.so.3 (`libplist`)
|
|
- libncurses.so.5 (`ncurses5-compat-libs`)
|
|
|
|
I found these by running the binary and then finding and installing the package that contained the shared object I was missing.
|
|
|
|
I also made an AUR package named [`checkra1n-gui`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/checkra1n-gui), which does all this automatically.
|
|
|
|
## Conclusion
|
|
|
|
As I expected, there is nothing preventing the checkra1n GUI from working on non Debian-based distributions (as far as I can tell).
