## Packages
Experimental packages are available for Linux (non-portable) and Windows (portable). Both versions are confirmed to work but the Windows version needs more testing--please volunteer if you use Windows!
Several source build packages are available, along with experimental pre-built generic packages.
- An [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/polymc-git/) is also available.
- A Gentoo ebuild is available in the [swirl](https://github.com/binex-dsk/ebuilds) overlay, available as `games-action/polymc`. Check the README for instructions on how to add the overlay.
- A full list of generic, pre-built packages is available [here](https://jenkins.polymc.org/job/PolyMC/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/).
- An [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/polymc-git/) is available.
- A Gentoo ebuild is available in the [swirl](https://git.swurl.xyz/binex-dsk/ebuilds) overlay, named `games-action/polymc`. Check the README for instructions on how to add the overlay.
- A Flatpak is available. Instructions on building it can be found in `[packages/flatpak/BUILDING.md](packages/flatpak/BUILDING.md)`.

- [Windows (32-bit)](https://jenkins.polymc.org/job/PolyMC/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/win32.zip) - this is a portable package, you can extract it anywhere and run it. This package needs testing.
- [Linux (AMD64) System](https://packages.polymc.org/latest/lin64-system/lin64-system.tar.zst) ([SHA256](https://packages.polymc.org/latest/lin64-system/lin64-system.tar.zst.sha256)) - this is a generic system package intended to be used as a base for making distro-specific packages.

Alternatively, you may build the `.deb` yourself, by going to `packages/debian` and running `./makedeb.sh`.
- MacOS currently does not have any packages. We are still working on setting up MacOS packaging.
