I am trying to install a pritunl client on a centos 7 machine running kde.
I am following the instructions on the pritunl home page but when I get to ‘sudo yum install pritunl-client-electron’, I am told that the package is not available.
Can anyone assist?
I have tried other client solutions on centos 7 with no real success.
Clients on ios and windows all working fine.
Thank you for any help.
Regards
The GUI client is no longer built for RHEL 7, the CLI pritunl-client package is available.
A list of build targets is available in the build repository source.
I think GUI client is no longer available for Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04 as well. Can anyone please update the docs as well? it took sometime to identify the cause on why the package was not updating.
Typically for the GUI client distribution support is removed quickly due build errors from outdated packages being very common with Electron. With the latest client release it was done much sooner to remove all distributions that don’t have Node.js 18 or newer. Previously the third party Nodejs.org 18 repository was used to build the package on these distributions. For Ubuntu only 23.10 and 24.04 have Node.js 18. For RHEL 9 it is available with the nodejs:18 module. Arch Linux and Fedora have Node.js 20 or 22. Below is a list of the build targets for the latest release. This would also be shown on the Pritunl Client releases.
