Download Navis

1. Open the downloaded .apk file from your notifications or your Files app.
2. If Android asks, allow your browser or Files app to install unknown apps. You can turn this permission off again afterwards.
3. Tap Install. Future versions install over the top and keep your settings.

Every official Navis APK, universal or for one processor type, is signed with the same key. Its SHA-256 certificate fingerprint is:
12:C6:41:1B:2A:9F:D3:0B:2B:B8:63:01:9D:63:08:5E:5F:36:A1:D2:09:A1:D1:F1:55:9D:70:95:50:E9:B0:C7

To check a downloaded APK on a computer, run apksigner verify --print-certs on it (apksigner comes with the Android SDK build-tools). It prints the same fingerprint in lower case, without the colons. keytool shows nothing for Navis APKs, because they use the newer APK signature scheme only.

Android refuses to update Navis with an APK signed by a different key, which protects you from tampered copies. Only download Navis from this page.

1. Run navis-v1.5.0-windows-installer.exe and follow the steps. Navis is installed to Program Files, with Start menu and desktop shortcuts. To remove it, use Settings > Apps.
2. Windows may show a blue "Windows protected your PC" (SmartScreen) message. It appears for apps from small independent developers that haven't built up download reputation with Microsoft yet. It does not mean a virus was found. Choose More info, check the file came from this site and its checksum matches, then Run anyway.

Navis runs on 64-bit (x64) Windows 10 and 11.

.deb (Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint and others)

Open the file in your software centre, or install it from a terminal in your downloads folder:

sudo apt install ./navis-v1.5.0-linux-amd64.deb

.rpm (Fedora, Nobara and openSUSE Tumbleweed)

# Fedora and Nobara
sudo dnf install ./navis-v1.5.0-linux-x86_64.rpm
# openSUSE Tumbleweed
sudo zypper install ./navis-v1.5.0-linux-x86_64.rpm

It needs glibc 2.35 or newer, so it doesn't run on RHEL, Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux 9, or on openSUSE Leap 15. The portable build has the same requirement.

To update, download the new .rpm and install it the same way.

Portable .tar.gz (any distribution)

The archive has no top-level folder, so make one first, extract into it, then run Navis from it:

mkdir navis
tar -xzf navis-v1.5.0-linux.tar.gz -C navis
./navis/navis

It needs glibc 2.35 or newer, GTK 3, libsecret (to store your server password) and a sound server: PulseAudio, or PipeWire with its PulseAudio support. Most desktop distributions include all of them. If Navis doesn't start, install them (libgtk-3-0 libsecret-1-0 on Debian and Ubuntu,gtk3 libsecret on Fedora, gtk3 libsecret alsa-lib libpulse on Arch) and try again. To update, replace the extracted files with the new version.

On Arch Linux, CachyOS or Manjaro, use this build for now: the AUR package can't be released yet because AUR registration is temporarily closed (FAQ).
