Packages
Linux
For developement, or if none of the package options are satisfying,
see manual installation.
Packages other than the AppImage and Flatpak are not maintained by the Mirage
authors, and thus might be outdated.
AppImage
For x86 64bit glibc-based systems, Mirage is available as an AppImage
on the release page.
AppImages are single executable files that contain the app and all
its dependencies.
Mirage images are built in Ubuntu 16.04, and should therefore run on any distro
released in April 2016 or later.
How to start AppImages
(TL;DR: chmod +x Mirage-*.AppImage && ./Mirage-*.AppImage)
Flatpak
Mirage is also available as a Flatpak.
-
Download the Mirage Flatpak from the
release page. -
If your operating system doesn't already have built-in support for Flatpaks,
follow these instructions to install Flatpak
support on your system. -
To actually install and run Mirage, it should be enough to double-click the
downloaded.flatpakfile, which will open your software manager.
Alternatively, you can issue the following commands in a terminal:
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists \
flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install --user flathub org.kde.Platform//5.14
flatpak install --user /path/to/downloaded/mirage-*.flatpak
flatpak run io.github.mirukana.mirage
If downloading the dependencies fail due to e.g. a connection error,
run flatpak repair before retrying.
If your architecture is not listed on the release page, clone the repository
and see packaging/flatpak/README.md to build the
package on your machine.
Alpine Linux / postmarketOS
If you are on the Edge channel of Alpine Linux or postmarketOS, Mirage can be
installed right from the testing repositry:
apk add mirage
If you are unsure about what Edge is and want to read more about it, you can do
so on the Alpine Wiki.
Arch Linux
AUR packages for the
latest stable release and
git dev branch are
available.
Installing the release version with a AUR helper, e.g.
yay:
yay -S matrix-mirage
Debian
Requires Debian Testing.
To install the package:
apt update
apt install matrix-mirage
Gentoo
Available in the src_prepare overlay
Installing Mirage:
- Add the overlay
- Unmask
net-im/mirage - Run
emerge net-im/mirage
Nix
Requires the unstable channel, to add it:
nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable
nix-channel --update
To install the package:
nix-env -iA nixpkgs.mirage-im
OpenMandriva Lx
Requires Unstable or Rolling. To install the package:
sudo dnf install matrix-mirage
Manual Installation
Qt 5.12+, Python 3.6+ (with pip to install packages from the
requirements.txt), PyOtherSide 1.5+ and
libolm 3+ are required.
The equivalent -dev or -devel packages are needed, if your distro
splits development headers into their own packages.
To enable X11-specific features on Linux,
libX11 and libXScrnSaver / libXss are needed.
The requirements can be disabled by adding CONFIG+=no-x11 to the
qmake mirage.pro command.
For the Pillow Python package, these dependencies are recommended to support
all common image formats:
- libjpeg-turbo
- zlib
- libtiff
- libwebp
- openjpeg2
libmediainfo is also required for the pymediainfo package.
Environment Variables
To ensure Qt 5 will be used by default, compile using all CPU cores and
optimize the build for your machine:
export QT_SELECT=5
export MAKEFLAGS="-j$(nproc)"
export CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe"
Package Manager Dependencies
Alpine Linux 3.9+ / apk
PyOtherSide and
libolm must be manually installed.
sudo apk add qt5-qtquickcontrols2-dev qt5-qtsvg-dev qt5-qtimageformats \
libx11-dev libxscrnsaver-dev alsa-lib-dev \
python3-dev py3-setuptools \

libjpeg-turbo-dev zlib-dev tiff-dev libwebp-dev openjpeg-dev \
libmediainfo-dev
export PATH="/usr/lib/qt5/bin:$PATH"
Arch Linux / pacman & AUR
libolm is from the AUR, this example uses
yay to install it like other packages.
Alternatively, you can just use pacman and
install libolm manually.
yay -Syu qt5-base qt5-declarative qt5-quickcontrols2 qt5-svg \
qt5-graphicaleffects qt5-imageformats \

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/qmake-qt5 /usr/bin/qmake
Gentoo / emerge
libolm must be manually installed.
You might need to prepend the emerge command with USE=bindist,
if emerge says so.
sudo emerge -av qtcore qtdeclarative qtquickcontrols2 \

installing libolm manually:
sudo apt install libolm-dev

Installing PyOtherSide Manually
Skip this section if you already installed it from your
distro's package manager.
git clone https://github.com/thp/pyotherside
cd pyotherside
make clean
qmake
make
sudo make install
Installing libolm Manually
Skip this section if you already installed it from your
distro's package manager.
git clone https://gitlab.matrix.org/matrix-org/olm/
cd olm
cmake . -Bbuild
cmake --build build
sudo make install
Installing or updating Mirage
After following the above sections instructions depending on your system;
clone the repository, initalize the submodules,
install the python dependencies, compile and install:
git clone https://github.com/mirukana/mirage
cd mirage
git pull
git submodule update --init submodules/*
pip3 install --user -Ur requirements.txt
qmake mirage.pro
make
sudo make install
To compile without the X11-specific dependencies and features on Linux,
run qmake mirage.pro CONFIG+=no-x11 instead of qmake mirage.pro.
If everything went fine, run mirage to start.
Common Issues
cffi version mismatch
When installing the python dependencies, if you get a version mismatch error
related to cffi, try:
pip3 install --user --upgrade --force-reinstall cffi
Type XYZ unavailable
If the application exits without showing any window and you get a terminal
message like this:
file:///.../src/gui/Window.qml:83:5: Type PythonRootBridge unavailable
then a QML component/type failed to import due to either a missing
dependency or a programming error.
If the type has Python in its name, ensure PyOtherSide is correctly
installed. You should see a similar message:
Got library name: "/usr/lib/qt5/qml/io/thp/pyotherside/libpyothersideplugin.so"
To ensure the correct permissions are set for the PyOtherSide plugin files:
sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/lib/qt5/qml/io
sudo chmod 644 /usr/lib/qt5/qml/io/thp/pyotherside/*
sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/qt5/qml/io/thp/pyotherside/*.so
Note that the Qt lib path might be /usr/lib/qt/ instead of /usr/lib/qt5/,
depending on the distro.
