Try installing Firejail from your system packages first. Firejail is included in most Linux distributions. You can also install one of the released packages, or clone Firejail’s source code from our Git repository.

Install and Configure

After install, run sudo firecfg in a terminal. The command integrates Firejail into your desktop. You will be able to start your sandboxed applications by:

• clicking on the app icon in your window manager menus
• clicking on a file in the file manager will automatically sandbox the application opening the file
• no need to prefix your application with firejail when starting in command line

 

To install our binary packages from SourceForge or GitHub run:

Debian/Ubuntu/Mint
   $ sudo dpkg -i firejail_X.Y.Z_amd64.deb

 

Source Code

Download the source code archive and extract the files:

$ tar -xJvf firejail-X.Y.Z.tar.xz

 

Compile and install

$ cd firejail-X.Y.Z
$ ./configure && make && sudo make install-strip

 

AppArmor support is not enabled by default at compile time. It is also missing from the binary packages we distribute on this site. Add “–enable-apparmor” in configure command to include this support:

$ ./configure --enable-apparmor && make && sudo make install-strip

 

You can find more AppArmor information in our Firejail Usage document.

Firetools compilation is described here.

 

Git Repository

Firejail’s source code is hosted in a Git repository on GitHub. You can access and compile it with the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/netblue30/firejail.git
$ cd firejail
$ ./configure && make && sudo make install

 

Checksums

For each release we provide a firejail-X.Y.Z.asc file that contains SHA256 checksums for each archive released. You can check the checksum using sha256sum utility from GNU Coreutils package.

firejail-X.Y.Z.asc file also includes a GnuPG signature. You can check the integrity of the file using our public key below. We use this key across all Firejail-related projects.
