Download and Install

Install on Linux

This page is for end users installing Remotle on their own Linux computer. To deploy Remotle to many computers, see Deploying the Client.

Check a Linux package against the SHA-256 shown beside it on the download page: https://softwaredownloads.oncomputle.com/download.


DevicePackage
Intel and AMDcomputle-stream_amd64.deb
Arm, including Orange Pi 5, 5 Plus and 5 Procomputle-stream_arm64.deb
  1. Download the package for your device.

    The file is named computle-stream_<version>_<arch>.deb, for example computle-stream_2026-10-11-2304_amd64.deb.

  2. Open a terminal in the folder you downloaded to and install the package.

    Terminal window
    sudo apt install ./computle-stream_<version>_<arch>.deb

    apt installs the package and anything it depends on, then enables and starts the update service, the USB sharing helper and kiosk terminal support.

    A terminal running sudo apt install ./computle-stream_2026-10-11-2304_amd64.deb: the package unpacks, sets up, and systemd enables computle-stream-updated, computle-usb-open and computle-kioskd

    On an Orange Pi 5, 5 Plus or 5 Pro, the package also turns on the Mali GPU for the desktop and for Remotle, and prints a line saying so. Restart the device once after installing to use it.

    The same install on an Orange Pi, ending with computle-stream: enabled the Mali GPU for Mesa (panthor-gpu overlay); restart this device to use it.

  3. Open Computle (Remotle) from your applications menu and sign in.

    The app is listed as Computle (Remotle). The first screen is the sign-in screen. See Sign In.

    The sign-in screen after first launch: Sign in to Computle, Continue with your Microsoft work account, Login with Microsoft

Can I install with a double-click instead of a terminal?

Section titled “Can I install with a double-click instead of a terminal?”

Use the terminal command above. It installs the dependencies the package needs as well as the package itself.

Only on an Orange Pi, once, so that the GPU is used. On other computers, open Computle (Remotle) straight away.
