We also provide an AppImage, a single-file executable version of Warp. Installing Warp via a package manager is recommended, as it will ensure your system has all necessary dependencies installed.
You can download the Warp AppImage with the following commands:
# On x64 systems
curl -L "https://app.warp.dev/download?package=appimage" -o Warp-x64.AppImage
chmod +x Warp-x64.AppImage
# On ARM64 systems
curl -L "https://app.warp.dev/download?package=appimage_arm64" -o Warp-ARM64.AppImage
chmod +x Warp-ARM64.AppImage
Running Warp on Linux
If you installed a package, find Warp in your desktop manager or run warp-terminal on your terminal. If you're using the AppImage, you can launch it by navigating to the directory where the AppImage is located and running ./Warp-*.AppImage.

Initial Setup
Log in to Warp (Optional)
After installation, you have the option to create a Warp account thru the "Sign up" bottom on the top right or in Settings > Account > Sign up. You have the option to skip this step. If you're having issues logging in, you can check out the Login Troubleshooting page.
If you sign up using Google or GitHub, Warp only gets access to the associated email address. Visit the Privacy page for more details on Warp's approach to privacy.
Use Warp offline
You will only need an active internet connection when you open the Warp app for the first time. Once opened, Warp is able to run with no internet connection, although certain features that require an internet connection like AI and real-time collaboration features will be unavailable.
Import your settings
If you are migrating to Warp from a terminal like iTerm2, you can easily import your settings, such as keyboard shortcuts and color themes. For more details, visit the Migrate to Warp docs.
Set up your Warp default shell
Warp tries to load your login shell by default. Currently, Warp supports bash, fish, zsh, and PowerShell (pwsh). If your login shell is set to something else (for example, Nushell) Warp will load zsh by default.
Zsh is the default login and interactive shell on macOS (starting with macOS Catalina in 2019), replacing the bash shell. For most Linux distributions, the default shell is bash.
You can change your default shell by going to Settings > Features > Session. In the Startup shell for new sessions section, you can choose which shell you want Warp to use.
