Install on Linux

Flatpak

Can be installed on any Linux distribution. Find Vorta on Flathub. To install:

$ flatpak install flathub com.borgbase.Vorta

Settings can be transferred by copying ~/.local/share/Vorta/settings.db to ~/.var/app/com.borgbase.Vorta/data/Vorta/.

Install from Source

The most generic way is to install it as Python package using PIP. First install Borg using the package of your distribution or via PyPI. The latter needs some additional source packages. Then install Vorta from PyPI. Your local Python version must be >= 3.6.

$ pip3 install vorta

Add Entry to Application Launcher

You can add a .desktop entry to get a link to Vorta in your application launcher, usually ~/.local/share/applications/vorta.desktop. Use the template available here and adjust the Exec and Icon paths if necessary.

Distribution Packages

Arch Linux

Use the AUR package.

$ yay -S vorta

Debian and derivatives

Users of Debian ≥11 (Bullseye), its derivative Ubuntu ≥21.04 (Hirsute), and its derivatives (Pop!_OS, Mint, elementaryOS, Kubuntu, Neon, etc), may install Vorta from the App Store, or

sudo apt install vorta

Please note that some app stores provide both deb and flatpak packages.

Users who require features from a newer version of Vorta, or users of older OS releases should investigate if their distribution provides backports, and should prefer Vorta from this distribution stream. E.g. Debian Backports or Ubuntu Backports.

Failing this, ask your distribution to provide a package, and failing that, use the flatpak!
