openSUSE Tumbleweed (rolling release)

zypper install rakudo

Click on "1 Click Install" under experimental packages

Non-NixOS: nix-env -iA nixpkgs.rakudo

User repositories

Arch Linux (AUR)

rakudo-bin rakudo rakudo-git

rakudo-pkg distro packages

These are often more up to date than the packages provided by the distribution itself, but require adding a third party repository.

• Native packages and repositories for Alpine, Debian, EL (RHEL/CentOS/AmazonLinux/OracleLinux), Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu
• Additionally a relocable tar.gz for all Linux distributions
• One single package used for Rakudo, NQP and MoarVM
• Includes zef (Raku Module Installer) and helper scripts (e.g. zef install as user).
