Getting started

MacOS

A prebuilt macOS binary is available here.

If you want to compile from sources on macOS go here.

Ubuntu 18.04+

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
wget -O - https://mcpelauncher.mrarm.io/apt/conf/public.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://mcpelauncher.mrarm.io/apt/ubuntu/ bionic main'
sudo apt-get install msa-daemon msa-ui-qt mcpelauncher-client mcpelauncher-ui-qt

You will need to install 32 bit graphics drivers - for integrated graphics and most AMD GPUs libegl1-mesa:i386 libegl1-mesa-drivers:i386 will work.

If you want to compile from sources on Ubuntu 18.04+ go here.

Ubuntu 16.04

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:beineri/opt-qt596-xenial
wget -O - https://mcpelauncher.mrarm.io/apt/conf/public.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://mcpelauncher.mrarm.io/apt/ubuntu/ xenial main'
sudo apt-get install msa-daemon msa-ui-qt mcpelauncher-client mcpelauncher-ui-qt
# To launch do: . /opt/qt59/bin/qt59-env.sh && mcpelauncher-ui-qt

You will need to install 32 bit graphics drivers - for integrated graphics and most AMD GPUs libegl1-mesa:i386 libegl1-mesa-drivers:i386 will work.

Arch

There are Arch AUR packages available: mcpelauncher-msa-git mcpelauncher-msa-ui-qt-git for Xbox Live support (you need to install both), mcpelauncher-linux-git for the actual launcher and mcpelauncher-ui-git for the metalauncher (recommended).

So, summing it up you should install: mcpelauncher-msa-git mcpelauncher-msa-ui-qt-git mcpelauncher-linux-git mcpelauncher-ui-git

AppImage

A prebuilt AppImage binary is available here. After downloading simply open terminal, chmod +x Minecraft_Bedrock_Launcher.AppImage and run it.

This is generally the preferred way if your OS is not one of the ones listed above.

Source build

If there are no packages available for your repository, check out the Source build guide.

You can also use the Linux build script.
