## Introduction

[**OpenRGB**](https://openrgb.org/) is an essential application for managing your RGB appliances. This guide will help you install the Flatpak and AppImage of OpenRGB correctly.

## Flatpak

### Prerequisites

You can install OpenRGB from the GNOME Software as documented [here](https://docs.vanillaos.org/handbook/en/install-and-manage-applications#managing-applications-through-gnome-software). Alternatively, you can install it from the command line with the following command:-

```bash
flatpak install flathub org.openrgb.OpenRGB
```

## AppImage

### Prerequisites

AppImage Support: If you have enabled AppImage in the "First Setup" when installing Vanilla OS, this step isn't necessary.

If you haven't enabled AppImages, run the following command:-

```bash
sudo abroot exec apt install libfuse2
```

After the successful installation, reboot your system. You can do this by typing `reboot`.

### Installing OpenRGB

Install "Linux 64-bit" from the "Linux Binaries (AppImage)" section [**here**](https://gitlab.com/CalcProgrammer1/OpenRGB/-/releases/permalink/latest#Linux-64-bit).

Go to the directory where the AppImage is installed and make it an executable with the following commands:-

```bash
cd ~/Downloads/
chmod +x <appimage-filename>
```

After downloading the UDEV rules, you need to move them to the correct directory with the following command:-

```bash
sudo mv ~/Downloads/60-openrgb.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
host-shell pkexec mv ~/Downloads/60-openrgb.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
```

After moving the UDEV rules, you need to reload the rules by running the following command:-

```bash
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger
pkexec udevadm control --reload-rules && pkexec udevadm trigger
```

After reloading the rules, OpenRGB works correctly.
