TIL: Installing Warp terminal on Aurora/Bluefin Linux

Today I learned how to layer the Warp terminal application into the immutable Linux distro Aurora 1. Since Aurora uses rpm-ostree, I used the rpm repository provided by Warp from their Getting Started section. Merging the instructions from Warp with the instructions to layer 1Password that I used previously, I ended up with:

curl https://releases.warp.dev/linux/keys/warp.asc | sudo tee /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-warp-terminal
sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[warpdotdev]\nname=warpdotdev\nbaseurl=https://releases.warp.dev/linux/rpm/stable\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-warp-terminal" > /etc/yum.repos.d/warpdotdev.repo'
rpm-ostree install warp-terminal

Then a reboot and Warp is available!


  1. Aurora is the KDE-based spin of Bluefin
