While the latter is acceptable for \"advanced\" users, the former two are annoying for anyone who has used Linux for a while. The wonderful part about having a package manager is that all updates are controlled centrally and not via multiple installers, as it uninstalling. As far as I know *only* [arch (and derivatives)](https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/palemoon/) can install pale moon via the AUR (but these are again not binaries, but compile and install scripts), but for me, and many other users using .deb or .rpm based distributions, there is only the previous methods.\r\n\r\nExcept if there is an explicit wish from the side of the developers, I believe that packages should be created for the Linux systems - I at least haven't found any previous conversation. I hope I'm not submitting this issue in the wrong place... if yes please tell me, but I wanted to express my annoyance, since, in my case, this is actually the reason that is keeping me from using Pale Moon.\r\n\r\n**Edit:** Another thing I failed to find is a Migration tool for Linux. Is it just me not finding it or does it not exist, in which case a script could be written."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/MoonchildProductions/Pale-Moon/issues/comments/139326650","html_url":"https://github.com/MoonchildProductions/Pale-Moon/issues/166#issuecomment-139326650","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/MoonchildProductions/Pale-Moon/issues/166","id":139326650,"user":{"login":"trav90","id":10595410,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/10595410?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/trav90","html_url":"https://github.com/trav90","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/trav90/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/trav90/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/trav90/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/trav90/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/trav90/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/trav90/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/trav90/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/trav90/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/trav90/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-09-10T17:56:09Z","updated_at":"2015-09-10T17:56:09Z","body":"I would love to be able to supply repo packages for Pale Moon, but I simply do not have the time or resources to create them in addition to the \"generic\" binary at this time. Anyone who is willing and able to create and and maintain packages are more than welcome to! :)\r\n\r\nFWIW, Pale Moon is available in the Puppy Linux, Manjaro, and PCLinuxOS repos and can be installed with those distro's package manager.\r\n\r\n> However, LPMO could do with some updates; it's extremely confusing for a newcomer to be able to understand how to install Pale Moon.\r\n\r\n@squarefractal, if you have some suggestions please send me a PM on the forum. I'll be all ears!\r\n\r\n> You may, however, want to first contact Moonchild (wolfbeast) on the forum or via email\r\n\r\nForum might be best. We will also likely be able to help you if you hit any snags. "}}
