Find RPG Echo in your software center

Add the official RPG Echo source once, then search for RPG Echo in Discover or GNOME Software to install it and receive signed updates.

First-time Flatpak setup: enable the runtime source before installing. If Flathub is already enabled, skip this step. It supplies the required GNOME desktop libraries; RPG Echo itself downloads and updates directly from rpgecho.com.

Enable required runtime source

Add RPG Echo to your software center

Open the downloaded rpgirc.flatpakrepo file with your software center and approve adding RPG Echo Linux. Then refresh or reopen the software center and search for RPG Echo. Choose the current version, 1.0.3. Flatpak support is required. Adding the source does not install the app or start a subscription.

If your browser only saves the file

Open your Downloads folder, then open rpgirc.flatpakrepo with Discover or GNOME Software. If neither can open it, enable Flatpak support for your distribution. You can also add the source in Konsole or another terminal:

flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists rpgirc https://rpgecho.com/downloads/linux/rpgirc.flatpakrepo
flatpak update --user --appstream rpgirc

If your software center reports a missing desktop runtime, use the Download for Linux installer; it configures the required runtime source. Already installed from this website? Your RPG Echo source is already configured; you can keep using it.

Install. Sign in. Start your story.

1. Install the app

Download the installer and open it in your software manager. It adds the signed RPG Echo update repository and the required desktop runtime.

A few useful details

How do I return after checkout?

Use “Open RPG Echo for Linux” on the browser return page. If the browser does not open the app, switch to RPG Echo and choose Restore or check membership. Your account only receives paid access after the server verifies the payment.

What if I already have a subscription?

Sign in with the same account. Your existing membership is recognized; manage it through its original provider. The app prevents starting another subscription while an existing one is active or unresolved.

Upgrading from the earlier Linux preview?

Install the new package and sign in again. Your server campaigns and subscriptions stay unchanged; local preferences and saved sign-in are separate. The earlier preview remains available. Keep it until you have checked access in the new app.

Release notes, source and signatures

Version 1.0.3 introduces RPG Echo and rpgecho.com. Sign in again with your existing account on the new origin. Server campaigns and subscriptions stay unchanged. Existing local records and the old-origin saved session are retained; keep the earlier installation until saved records are exported. Window settings remain available. It uses com.rpgirc.RPGirc, secure session storage, desktop file dialogs, keyboard shortcuts, zoom and a dedicated billing-return handler. Internet access is required. The signing-key fingerprint is 32ABEEC573A31AC8823884EBE5D4B47811D29F18.
