vejeta Debian Repository

Unofficial Debian packages built from source, following Debian packaging standards. Includes pre-built libcef (Chromium Embedded Framework) packages tracking latest Chromium releases — the only Debian-native CEF available (ITP #915400, open since 2017). Applications can link against system CEF instead of bundling their own copy.

Up to date: libcef is built from Debian's chromium packaging (cef branch) — currently Chromium 149.0.7827.196 (libcef149), inheriting upstream Chromium and Debian security fixes.
Third-party repository: These packages are not yet part of the official Debian archive. They have been submitted for review via ITPs and are pending sponsorship. See Source Code & ITPs below.

Quick Installation

Step 1: Add repository GPG key

    sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
    wget -qO - https://debian.vejeta.com/key.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/stremio-debian.gpg

Step 2: Add repository source

Choose your distribution:

    # Debian sid (unstable)
    echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/stremio-debian.gpg] https://debian.vejeta.com sid main non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vejeta.list

    # Debian trixie (13 - stable)
    echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/stremio-debian.gpg] https://debian.vejeta.com trixie main non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vejeta.list

    # Debian bookworm (12)
    echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/stremio-debian.gpg] https://debian.vejeta.com bookworm main non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vejeta.list

    # Debian testing (rolling)
    echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/stremio-debian.gpg] https://debian.vejeta.com testing main non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vejeta.list

    # Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (noble) - has the working Qt5 client (also for KDE Neon)
    echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/stremio-debian.gpg] https://debian.vejeta.com noble main non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vejeta.list

    # Ubuntu 25.04 (plucky) - experimental Qt6 client only (no Qt5)
    echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/stremio-debian.gpg] https://debian.vejeta.com plucky main non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vejeta.list

Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble) and KDE Neon users: use the noble line above — it provides the working Qt5 stremio client. The plucky suite currently ships only the experimental Qt6 client.

Step 3: Install

    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install <package-name>

Which package should I install?

For a working desktop client we recommend one of the following. Both pair with stremio-server (installed automatically as a dependency):

    # Recommended: Qt5 client
    sudo apt install stremio stremio-server

    # Alternative: GTK4/CEF client (Debian sid only)
    sudo apt install stremio-gtk stremio-server
⚠ Do not install stremio-qt6 yet. The Qt6 client is experimental and a work in progress — it is published for testing only and is not expected to work on most systems (including Ubuntu Noble / Plucky and KDE Neon). If you want a working client, install stremio (Qt5) or stremio-gtk (CEF) as shown above.
