Nitrokey App Installation

The Nitrokey App is included in Ubuntu’s repositories since Ubuntu 18.04 (codename ‘bionic’) on. You can just install it via Software Center or by typing the following in a terminal:

$ sudo apt update

$ sudo apt install nitrokey-app

Unfortunately, the App versions in the official Ubuntu repositories are often not up-to-date.

More recent App versions

To get the most recent Nitrokey App you can add a separate repository which is maintained by Nitrokey.

Please execute the following in a terminal to add the repository and install the Nitrokey App:

Hint

The PPA is not necessary for Ubuntu 22.04 and later. The previous versions of Ubuntu could still use it to update the app.

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nitrokey/nitrokey

$ sudo apt install nitrokey-app

Alternatively, you can use the snap package. Please see here for more information.
