Debian-based distros
The following debian installers are available:
Note that you should use apt to install the package with sudo apt install xpipe-installer-linux-*.deb
as other package managers, for example dpkg,
are not able to resolve and install any dependency packages.

RHEL-based distros
The rpm releases are signed with the GPG key https://xpipe.io/signatures/crschnick.asc.
