⚠️ A NOTE FOR NEW USERS ⚠️

This repository is currently not compatible with the latest versions of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. However, there is an active fork of this repo that does run the latest versions. Both repositories are also undergoing a rewrite to support the new 64Bit versions of Bedrock Edition (Hooray Catalina users!). You can find links For Linux and Mac OS builds below.

Linux - https://github.com/ChristopherHX/linux-packaging-scripts/releases

MacOS - https://github.com/ChristopherHX/mcpelauncher-manifest/releases

MacOS

A prebuilt macOS binary is available here.

If you want to compile from sources on macOS go here.

Linux Mint

Please note that Mint 19 DOES NOT equal Ubuntu 19.04. Use the Ubuntu 18.04 instructions for Mint 19.

Ubuntu 19.04

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
wget -O - https://mcpelauncher.mrarm.io/apt/conf/public.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://mcpelauncher.mrarm.io/apt/ubuntu/ disco main'
sudo apt-get install msa-daemon msa-ui-qt mcpelauncher-client mcpelauncher-ui-qt

You will need to install 32 bit graphics drivers - for integrated graphics and most AMD GPUs libegl1-mesa-dev:i386 will work.

Ubuntu 18.04 and 18.10

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
wget -O - https://mcpelauncher.mrarm.io/apt/conf/public.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://mcpelauncher.mrarm.io/apt/ubuntu/ bionic main'
sudo apt install msa-daemon msa-ui-qt mcpelauncher-client mcpelauncher-ui-qt

You will need to install 32 bit graphics drivers - for integrated graphics and most AMD GPUs libegl1-mesa:i386 libegl1-mesa-dev:i386 will work.

If you want to compile from sources on Ubuntu 18.04 or 18.10 go here.

Ubuntu 16.04

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:beineri/opt-qt596-xenial
wget -O - https://mcpelauncher.mrarm.io/apt/conf/public.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://mcpelauncher.mrarm.io/apt/ubuntu/ xenial main'
sudo apt update
sudo apt install msa-daemon msa-ui-qt mcpelauncher-client mcpelauncher-ui-qt
# To launch do: . /opt/qt59/bin/qt59-env.sh && mcpelauncher-ui-qt

You will need to install 32 bit graphics drivers - for integrated graphics and most AMD GPUs libegl1-mesa:i386 libegl1-mesa-drivers:i386 will work.

If you want to compile from sources on Ubuntu 16.04 go here.

Arch

There are Arch AUR packages available: mcpelauncher-msa-git mcpelauncher-msa-ui-qt-git for Xbox Live support (you need to install both), mcpelauncher-linux-git for the actual launcher and mcpelauncher-ui-git for the metalauncher (recommended). You will need to enable the multilib repository. For audio support, you need to install lib32-libpulse and lib32-alsa-plugins.

So, summing it up you should install: mcpelauncher-msa-git mcpelauncher-msa-ui-qt-git mcpelauncher-linux-git mcpelauncher-ui-git lib32-libpulse lib32-alsa-plugins

AppImage

A prebuilt AppImage binary is available here. After downloading simply open terminal, chmod +x Minecraft_Bedrock_Launcher.AppImage and run it.

This is generally the preferred way if your OS is not one of the ones listed above.

Source build

If there are no packages available for your distribution, check out the Source build guide.

You can also use the Linux build script.
