Ubuntu installation instructions<\/h2>\n

To get the Foxit Reader working on Ubuntu, you will need to download the installer program from the developer\u2019s website. The Foxit Reader installer works on all distributions, including Ubuntu.<\/p>\n

To download the latest Foxit Reader to your Ubuntu PC, start by opening up a terminal window. You can open up a terminal window on the Ubuntu desktop by using the Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>command.<\/p>\n

Once the terminal window is open, make use of the\u00a0wget\u00a0<\/strong>terminal downloader tool. It comes pre-installed on Ubuntu and will make downloading the latest Foxit much faster, as you won\u2019t have to deal with the website.<\/p>\n

After downloading the latest Foxit Reader Linux installer to your Ubuntu PC, you will need to extract it, as the installer is distributed via Tar GZ. Using the tar xvf\u00a0<\/strong>command, decompress the Foxit Reader archive.<\/p>\n
\ntar xvf FoxitReader.enu.setup.2.4.4.0911.x64.run.tar.gz\n<\/pre>\n
With everything extracted, it is time to start up the GUI installer for the Foxit reader.<\/p>\n
\n.\/'FoxitReader.enu.setup.2.4.4.0911(r057d814).x64.run'\n<\/pre>\n
Once the installer is open on your Ubuntu PC, use the UI installer to get the Foxit Reader set up on your system. The installer will walk you through the process, similar to Windows app installers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Debian installation instructions<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re using Debian Linux and need to get the Foxit Reader working on your system, there\u2019s only one way to go about it: you will have to download the Foxit Reader installer from the website.<\/p>\n
On Debian Linux, installing Foxit Reader is slightly different, as the platform is one of the few mainstream Linux operating systems that still support 32-bit architecture. For this reason, we will cover how to install either the 32-bit or 64-bit versions of the Foxit Reader.<\/p>\n
To start the installation, you must download the installer. To download the installer, open up a terminal window on the Debian Linux desktop. To open up the terminal on Debian, press\u00a0Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard.<\/p>\n
Once the terminal window is open, use the built-in\u00a0wget\u00a0<\/strong>downloader tool to grab either the 32-bit or 64-bit release of Foxit Reader for your Debian Linux system.<\/p>\n
32-bit download<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/cdn01.foxitsoftware.com\/pub\/foxit\/reader\/desktop\/linux\/2.x\/2.4\/en_us\/FoxitReader.enu.setup.2.4.4.0910.x86.run.tar.gz\n<\/pre>\n
64-bit download<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nwget http:\/\/cdn09.foxitsoftware.com\/pub\/foxit\/reader\/desktop\/linux\/2.x\/2.4\/en_us\/FoxitReader.enu.setup.2.4.4.0911.x64.run.tar.gz\n<\/pre>\n
When the Foxit Reader installer has finished downloading to your Debian Linux PC, you must extract it. It needs to be extracted because the Linux Foxit Reader installer is distributed via a Tar GZ archive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To extract the Foxit Tar GZ archive, make use of the\u00a0tar xvf\u00a0<\/strong>command below.<\/p>\n
32-bit extract<\/strong><\/p>\n
\ntar xvf FoxitReader.enu.setup.2.4.4.0910.x86.run.tar.gz\n<\/pre>\n
64-bit extract<\/strong><\/p>\n
\ntar xvf FoxitReader.enu.setup.2.4.4.0911.x64.run.tar.gz\n<\/pre>\n
Once everything is extracted, it is time to start up the GUI Foxit reader installer. To do this, execute the command below in the terminal.<\/p>\n
32-bit run<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n.\/'FoxitReader.enu.setup.2.4.4.0910(r057d814).x86.run'\n<\/pre>\n
64-bit run<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n.\/'FoxitReader.enu.setup.2.4.4.0911(r057d814).x64.run'\n<\/pre>\n
When the Foxit reader installer pops up on the screen, the installation can begin. Follow along with the GUI to get the app working on your Debian Linux system.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Arch Linux installation instructions<\/h2>\n
The Foxit Reader is supposed to be installed on Linux by manually downloading the GUI installer from the developers\u2019 website. However, on Arch Linux, it\u2019s much easier. Why? Users have created a Foxit Reader AUR package.<\/p>\n
To get started with the Foxit Reader AUR package, you must first install the Trizen AUR helper application. To install the Trizen AUR helper, enter the commands below.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Note: If you are a Manjaro Linux user, these instructions will also work for your system.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S git base-devel\ngit clone https:\/\/aur.archlinux.org\/trizen.git\ncd trizen\nmakepkg -sri\n<\/pre>\n
After installing the Trizen AUR helper application on your Arch Linux PC, use it to install the latest Foxit Reader with the trizen -S\u00a0<\/strong>command below.<\/p>\n
\ntrizen -S foxitreader\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE installation instructions<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Foxit Reader is compatible with Fedora and OpenSUSE, as the app installs on the system via a generic file rather than packages specific to distributions. If you\u2019re on Fedora or OpenSUSE, here\u2019s how to get the app working.<\/p>\n
First, open up a terminal window on the desktop by pressing\u00a0Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>keyboard. Once the terminal window is open, it is time to download the latest Foxit Reader installation package to your computer.<\/p>\n
Using the\u00a0wget\u00a0<\/strong>command, download the latest Foxit Reader package. This download should be quick, as the file is only a couple of megabytes in size.<\/p>\n
\nwget http:\/\/cdn09.foxitsoftware.com\/pub\/foxit\/reader\/desktop\/linux\/2.x\/2.4\/en_us\/FoxitReader.enu.setup.2.4.4.0911.x64.run.tar.gz\n<\/pre>\n
After the download completes, extract the Foxit Reader Tar GZ file on your Linux PC. To do that, make use of the following\u00a0tar xvf\u00a0<\/strong>command in a terminal window.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\ntar xvf FoxitReader.enu.setup.2.4.4.0911.x64.run.tar.gz\n<\/pre>\n
When everything is extracted, you must start up the Foxit Reader installation GUI. To do that, execute the following command in a terminal window.<\/p>\n
\n.\/'FoxitReader.enu.setup.2.4.4.0911(r057d814).x64.run'\n<\/pre>\n
With the Foxit Reader GUI open, use it to install the program on your Fedora or OpenSUSE Linux system.\u00a0<\/p>\n
