​​ Package Repository

Railgun is available only for 64-bit systems. The best way of installing Railgun is via the Package Repository Open external link . Run the commands mentioned on the Package Repository page in order to set this up. Debian, CentOS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Amazon Linux users may use the Railgun binary package repository.

Other users will need to install the cloudflare-release RPM as described on the repository home page. Installation of that RPM will install the repository and GPG key.

Once this has been set up, run the following command as root:

​​ RPM-based
