Linux

Tvheadend binary packages can be downloaded from https://apt.tvheadend.org or you can configure a local package repo to install and update from by running the following shell commands:

DEB Packages (Debian, Ubuntu, RaspiOS)

Run the following shell command to setup a local apt repo:

curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/tvheadend/tvheadend/setup.deb.sh' | sudo -E bash

Then install Tvheadend:

sudo apt-get install tvheadend

During installation you will be prompted to create an administrator account; enter a username and password. When it finishes, Tvheadend is reachable on port 9981 (for example http://localhost:9981/).

RPM Packages (Fedora, RedHat)

Run the following shell command to setup a local dnf or yum repo:

curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/tvheadend/tvheadend/setup.rpm.sh' | sudo -E bash

Then install Tvheadend:

sudo dnf install tvheadend

Tvheadend aims to provide installable packages for as long as possible to extend the usable life of server and tuner hardware. In practice this means if we can still automate regular build testing for popular distributions and versions we will have binaries available.
