## Native OS packages
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are currently no official/stable binary packages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, there's a [*beta* repository for Debian 10](https://deb.ln-ask.me) (should work on recent Ubuntu, but not tested well-enough)
|
||
|
|
The repository provides several significant advantages:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Everything is completely automatic - after installing `electrs` via `apt`, it's running and will automatically run on reboot, restart after crash..
|
||
|
|
It also connects to bitcoind out-of-the-box, no messing with config files or anything else.
|
||
|
|
It just works.
|
||
|
|
* Prebuilt binaries save you a lot of time.
|
||
|
|
The binary installation of all the components is under 3 minutes on common hardware.
|
||
|
|
Building from source is much longer.
|
||
|
|
* The repository contains some seurity hardening out-of-the-box - separate users for services, use of [btc-rpc-proxy](https://github.com/Kixunil/btc-rpc-proxy), etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And two disadvantages:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* It's currently not trivial to independently verify the built packages, so you may need to trust the author of the repository.
|
||
|
|
The build is now deterministic but nobody verified it independently yet.
|
||
|
|
* The repository is considered beta.
|
||
|
|
electrs seems to work well so far but was not tested heavily.
|
||
|
|
The author of the repository is also a contributor to `electrs` and appreciates [bug reports](https://github.com/Kixunil/cryptoanarchy-deb-repo-builder/issues),

[test reports](https://github.com/Kixunil/cryptoanarchy-deb-repo-builder/issues/61), and other contributions.
