Vantage documentation

Installation

The public installer supports 64-bit Arch, Omarchy, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and openSUSE systems that provide WebKitGTK 6.0. It installs the Vantage binary, desktop launcher, icon and browser media dependencies.

Install

curl -fsSL https://vant.cx/install.sh | sh

Do not run the command with sudo. The installer invokes sudo only for distribution packages and installs Vantage itself for the current user.

Distribution support

Arch and Omarchy use pacman, Debian and Ubuntu use apt, Fedora uses dnf, and openSUSE uses zypper. The installer requires WebKitGTK 6.0 and treats additional codec packages as optional on Fedora and openSUSE when their configured repositories do not provide them.
