The Gparted partition editor is a powerful tool for Linux users. With it, users are able to create new hard drive partitions, edit filesystem boot flags, reformat partitions, and more. Here\u2019s how to install the Gparted app on Linux.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ubuntu installation instructions<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On Ubuntu, the Gparted partition editor can be installed through the\u00a0Apt\u00a0<\/strong>package manager. To start the installation, open up a terminal window by pressing\u00a0Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu.<\/p>\n

Once a terminal window is open, use the\u00a0apt install\u00a0<\/strong>command to get the \u201cgparted\u201d package installed on your computer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install gparted\n<\/pre>\n
When you enter the command above, the Ubuntu package manager will ask for your password. It asks for a password because the sudo<\/strong> command is a \u201cdo as root\u201d command. Type out your password and press\u00a0Enter\u00a0<\/strong>to continue.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve typed out your password into the text box, Ubuntu will begin to collect all of the packages that are to be installed, along with your \u201cgparted\u201d package. You\u2019ll then be prompted to press the\u00a0Y\u00a0<\/strong>key to continue. Do so.<\/p>\n
After pressing\u00a0Y\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard, Ubuntu will install Gparted. When the installation is complete, close the terminal window and search for \u201cGparted\u201d in your app menu to start it up.<\/p>\n
Debian installation instructions<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re a Debian Linux user, you will be able to install Gparted on your computer via the\u00a0Apt-get\u00a0<\/strong>command. Best of all, no matter how old your version of Debian is, you\u2019re sure to be able to get the app working, as Gparted has been around for a long time.<\/p>\n
To start the installation of Gparted on your Debian Linux PC, open up a terminal window. To open up a terminal window on the Debian Linux desktop, press the\u00a0Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>button on the keyboard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once the terminal window is open, make use of the\u00a0apt-get install\u00a0<\/strong>command to get the \u201cgparted\u201d package installed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install gparted\n<\/pre>\n
After entering the command above, the Debian Linux package manager will ask you to enter your password since the sudo\u00a0<\/strong>command was used. If you did not already set up Sudo on Debian, this command will fail. Follow our guide here to get it working.<\/p>\n
If the\u00a0sudo\u00a0<\/strong>command is successful, Debian will begin to collect all of the packages it is about to install and display a summary. Then, you will be prompted to press the\u00a0Y\u00a0<\/strong>button to continue. Do so.<\/p>\n
By pressing\u00a0Y\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard, Debian will begin installing Gparted. When the process is complete, close the terminal. You\u2019ll be able to open Gparted via the app menu in Debian.<\/p>\n
Arch Linux installation instructions<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
On Arch Linux, the Gparted application is in the \u201cExtra\u201d software repository. To get it working on your system, ensure you have the \u201cExtra\u201d software repository turned on in the Pacman configuration file.<\/p>\n
After enabling the \u201cExtra\u201d software repository on your Arch Linux PC, re-sync Pacman with the official software repos. To do this, execute the following\u00a0pacman -Syu\u00a0<\/strong>command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syu\n<\/pre>\n
Now that Arch Linux has access to the \u201cExtra\u201d software repository, the Gparted application\u2019s installation can begin. Using the pacman\u00a0<\/strong>command below, get the Gparted partition editor installed.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S gparted\n<\/pre>\n
AUR<\/h3>\n
The Gparted partition editor, in addition to being available in the Arch Linux \u201cExtra\u201d software repository, is also available to users via the AUR. The AUR pulls directly from Git and is ideal for users who need the latest and greatest.<\/p>\n
To get the AUR version of Gparted working on your system, you must first install the Trizen AUR helper. To do that, execute the commands below in a terminal window.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S git base-devel git clone https:\/\/aur.archlinux.org\/trizen.git cd trizen makepkg -sri\n<\/pre>\n
After installing the Trizen application on your Arch Linux PC, you can get the Git release of Gparted installed on your system by executing the following\u00a0trizen -S\u00a0<\/strong>command.<\/p>\n
\ntrizen -S gparted-git\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora installation instructions<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
The Gparted partition editor is available to all Fedora Linux users via the main Fedora software repository. To start the installation, open up a terminal window on the Fedora desktop.<\/p>\n
To open up a terminal on the Fedora Linux desktop, press the\u00a0Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>keyboard combination. Alternatively, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu and launch it that way.<\/p>\n
Once the terminal window is open up on the Fedora Linux desktop, type in the\u00a0dnf install\u00a0<\/strong>command with the\u00a0\u201cgparted\u201d package.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nsudo dnf install gparted\n<\/pre>\n
After entering the above command, the Dnf package manager will collect all of the dependencies required to install Gparted and the \u201cgparted\u201d package. It\u2019ll then show you a summary of what is to be installed.<\/p>\n
When you\u2019ve read the summary, press the\u00a0Y\u00a0<\/strong>key to begin the installation. It shouldn\u2019t take long. When the installation is complete, close the terminal.<\/p>\n
OpenSUSE installation instructions<\/h2>\n
If you\u2019re using OpenSUSE Linux and need to get Gparted working, you\u2019ll be able to relatively quickly, as the app is in the official OpenSUSE repos. To start the installation, open up a terminal window.<\/p>\n
To open up a terminal window on the OpenSUSE desktop, press\u00a0Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu and launch it that way.<\/p>\n
Once the terminal window is open, make use of the\u00a0zypper install\u00a0<\/strong>command and use it to install the \u201cgparted\u201d package.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nsudo zypper install gparted\n<\/pre>\n
After entering the command above, OpenSUSE will ask you to continue. Press the Y<\/strong> button to begin. Once you\u2019ve pressed Y<\/strong>, the package manager will begin to install the Gparted package onto your system, as well as all the dependencies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
