Stremio is a multimedia center that allows users to instantly watch movies, TV shows, and even YouTube videos. It also supports DLNA and many other functions. Here’s how to use Stremio on Linux.

Installing Stremio on Linux

The Stremio application is available for a wide variety of Linux operating systems through the official Stremio website. Supported operating systems are Ubuntu, Debian, Arch Linux, Manjaro, as well as any Linux operating system that Flatpak supports.

To start the Stremio installation process on your Linux computer, you need to open a terminal window. You can start a terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T on the keyboard. Or search for “Terminal” in the application menu and run it that way.

With the terminal window open, you can begin the installation. By following the instructions below that match the operating system you use, configure Stremio on your computer.

Ubuntu

There is a DEB package available for Ubuntu users. That being said, it may not work on all versions of Ubuntu. If you have 21.10 or later, it may be better to install Stremio through Flatpak.

To get the latest DEB package for Stremio on your Ubuntu PC, use the following wget download command.

wget https://dl.strem.io/shell-linux/v4.4.137/stremio_4.4.137-1_amd64.deb

With the download complete, you will be able to install Stremio on Ubuntu using the fit to install command.

sudo apt install ./stremio_4.4.137-1_amd64.deb

Debian

If you are on Debian, you can get the Stremio application up and running using the official DEB package on its website. To get your hands on the Stremio DEB package, use the following wget download command.

wget https://dl.strem.io/shell-linux/v4.4.137/stremio_4.4.137-1_amd64.deb

When the download is complete, use the dpkg command to configure the Stremio DEB package on your Debian system.

sudo dpkg -i stremio_4.4.137-1_amd64.deb

After installing Stremio on Debian, the dependencies must be fixed. To solve the problems, use the apt-get install -f command below.

sudo apt-get install -f

Arch Linux

Stremio is on Arch Linux and on Manjaro (which is based on Arch) via AUR. In order for the application to work through the AUR, you will need to configure the Trizen AUR wizard. This program will automate the installation of AUR applications.

sudo pacman -S git base-devel

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/trizen.git

cd trizen/
makepkg -sri

With the Trizen application running on your system, install the latest version of Stremio on your computer using the trizen -S command in a terminal window.

trizen -S stremio

Fedora

The Stremio application is not compatible with Fedora through its website. That said, the app is in the official Fedora software repositories, so it doesn’t matter. To get Stremio to work on your Fedora system, use the following instalar dnf command.

sudo dnf install stremio

OpenSUSE

Unfortunately, there is no RPM package available for installation on the OpenSUSE website, and the application is not in the official repositories either. If you want together

Flatpak

Stremio is available as a Flatpak, and if you want to use it, you will need to configure the Flatpak runtime on your computer. To do that, follow our setup guide.

Once the Flatpak runtime is configured and ready to go, the Stremio application is ready to install. Enter the two commands to configure the application.

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

flatpak install flathub com.stremio.Stremio
