Windows

A stand-alone EXE installer of the latest stable release can be downloaded from PrusaSlicer introduction & download or our Github.

When downloading from Github, make sure you download the correct file for your computer. For Windows, it will be a .zip file, with "Win32" or "Win64" in the title. Most computers these days are 64-bit, which will run the 32-bit version as well. If you have an old computer, you may want to get the Win32 version.

The Drivers & Apps installation package includes the PrusaSlicer itself but also sets of test objects and printer drivers. These are optional, you can choose to install only PrusaSlicer.

Check out Download PrusaSlicer for download and testing of Alpha and Beta versions of PrusaSlicer, across all platforms.

Linux (including Chrome OS)

PrusaSlicer can be installed on Linux as a Flatpak through

Flathub. To use it, you must first install Flatpak and add the Flathub repository to the list of remotes. To do so, it is best to follow the steps here: Flathub Quick Setup Page.

For example, on the latest Ubuntu, this is as simple as

sudo apt install flatpak

sudo apt install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak # Adds Flatpaks to the Software center (not required)

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

Than restart your system.

Some distributions, like Mint, have Flatpak already installed and set up

To verify that Flatpak is properly installed on your system, you can run

flatpak --version

# prints: Flatpak *.*.* on success

Once Flatpak is properly installed and the Flathub repository is added, you can install PrusaSlicer via your distribution software center if your distribution allows it. Alternatively, you can use the install button here: Flathub or install it via terminal by running:

flatpak install flathub com.prusa3d.PrusaSlicer

After the installation, PrusaSlicer will be integrated into your desktop environment, and you can run it as you would any other application. If you prefer using the terminal, you can do:

flatpak run com.prusa3d.PrusaSlicer

to run PrusaSlicer.

Install without superuser privileges

You need superuser privileges to install Flatpak. However, you can install PrusaSlicer without it. You can use the --user option to run all Flatpak commands and install PrusaSlicer for the current user without requiring sudo. Remember to add the Flathub repository for the current user. In the end, this boils down to:

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

install --user flathub com.prusa3d.PrusaSlicer

Troubleshooting

If you have issues with the installation, ensure that Flatpak is installed:

flatpak --version

# prints: Flatpak *.*.* on success

and that the Flathub remote is properly set up

flatpak remotes -d

#prints: flathub Flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/ ... system ...
