Linux Client Setup Flow
Install the client, import the subscription, update the profile, choose a node, then enable system proxy or TUN according to your desktop environment.
Download the package
Match AppImage, deb, rpm or archive packages to your distribution and CPU architecture.
Allow execution
AppImage files may need executable permission. deb and rpm packages usually launch from the desktop menu after installation.
Import subscription
Paste the provider URL into Profiles, Configurations or Subscriptions and update the remote profile.
Enable proxy or TUN
Start with system proxy, then check TUN permission if you need fuller traffic capture.
Linux Setup FAQ
Check package format, execution permission, system proxy, desktop environment, service permissions and TUN capture behavior first.
Which Linux client should I start with?
Start with Clash Verge Rev or FlClash for most desktop workflows. Compare Clash Party and Clash Nyanpasu when you want a lighter Mihomo-focused interface.
How do I choose between AppImage, deb and rpm?
Use deb for Debian or Ubuntu families, rpm for Fedora, RHEL or openSUSE style systems, and AppImage when you want a portable package. See the Linux package guide for details.
Why does Linux download through GitHub Releases?
Linux builds vary by distribution, architecture and package manager. Opening official Releases makes it easier to verify the latest version, changelog and package name.
Does TUN mode require administrator permission?
Many Linux setups need extra permission for TUN, transparent proxy or service startup. Confirm the subscription works with system proxy first, then follow the TUN permission guide.
How do I confirm nodes after import?
Check that the subscription URL is complete, active and updated in the selected profile. If nodes still do not appear, follow the subscription import checklist.
