# Installing ## Introduction Deluge is an open-source cross-platform torrent client written in Python. It has been around since 2006 and offers many features that, while niche, many consider to be critical to their setups. ------ ## Installation Information sourced mostly from [Deluge's Downloads Page](https://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Download) ### Windows You can find the latest Windows installers [here](https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/deluge/windows/?C=M;O=D) !!! note `lt2.0` in the filename means the installer includes libtorrent 2.0.x instead of the older 1.2.x ### Linux (Native) Due to most default OS repositories being outdated, I recommend using Deluge's repositories to install the latest version. Using `apt-get` to install sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/stable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install deluge Using `pip3` to install (included in the Python package) pip3 install deluge !!! info You can find this project's pip repo @ [pypi.org/project/deluge/](https://pypi.org/project/deluge/) !!!
