The build specs for the GUI client is at [**pritunl-pacur/pritunl-client-electron/PKGBUILD**](https://github.com/pritunl/pritunl-pacur/blob/master/pritunl-client-electron/PKGBUILD) and for the CLI client at [**pritunl-pacur/pritunl-client/PKGBUILD**](https://github.com/pritunl/pritunl-pacur/blob/master/pritunl-client/PKGBUILD).

Thanks, I had seen that file but no idea what it means?

Do I just install the depends for say apt if I am on ubuntu/debian, then run the commands in build:apt section?

Those are the scripts used to build the client with the custom build system [**pacur**](https://github.com/pacur/pacur). The CLI client only requires go and can be installed with the commands below. The [**pritunl-client-electron repository**](https://github.com/pritunl/pritunl-client-electron/blob/master/resources_linux/pritunl-client.service) repository has the systemd file for the background service.

```auto
go install github.com/pritunl/pritunl-client-electron/cli@latest
go install github.com/pritunl/pritunl-client-electron/service@latest
sudo cp ~/go/bin/service /usr/bin/pritunl-client-service
sudo cp ~/go/bin/cli /usr/bin/pritunl-client

```
