Installing

Install from Source

The generic way is to install it as Python package using PIP. First install Borg using the package of your distribution or via PyPI. The latter needs some additional source packages. Then install Vorta from PyPI. Your local Python version should be >= 3.6.

$ pip3 install vorta

Desktop Tray Icon

Unless Vorta is started with the --foreground option, it will minimize to the system tray without opening a settings window. Be sure your desktop environment supports tray icons by e.g. installing this Gnome extension.

Distribution Packages

If available, prefer distribution-specific packages, as they offer better integration. (If you added Vorta to a Linux distribution, open an issue or PR and it will be added here.)

Apple macOS

Install via Homebrew Cask or download a pre-built app bundle for macOS (10.13+) from Releases.

$ brew cask install vorta

Arch Linux

Use the AUR package maintained by @bjo81.

$ yaourt -S vorta
