Tark

Tark for Linux

Tark 156.0.8078.47, revision 1, for 64-bit Linux (x64). A .deb for Ubuntu, Debian and their relatives that updates with your system, or a tarball for every other distro.

Download .deb

Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS

1
Install the .deb

Download tark_156.0.8078.47-1_amd64.deb (195 MB), then in a terminal:

sudo apt install ./Downloads/tark_156.0.8078.47-1_amd64.deb

2
Updates come with your system

Installing it adds Tark's apt repository and its signing key, as Chrome's .deb does, so Software Updater and sudo apt upgrade bring new versions.

3
Or add the repository by hand

Instead of the download:

curl -fsSL https://gettarka.com/apt/tark-archive-keyring.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/tark.gpg >/dev/null

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tark.gpg] https://gettarka.com/apt stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tark.list

sudo apt update && sudo apt install tark

Any other distro: the tarball

1
Download and unpack

Tark-156.0.8078.47-1-x64-linux.tar.xz (189 MB). Unpack it anywhere you like:

tar -xJf Tark-156.0.8078.47-1-x64-linux.tar.xz

2
Start Tark

./Tark-156.0.8078.47-1-x64-linux/tark

3
Updates

Once a day Tark checks here and, when there is a newer version, says so in its menu with a link back to this page. It never replaces its own files: download the new tarball and unpack it in place of the old one.

Before you install

64-bit (x64) Linux with glibc 2.34 or newer

Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Fedora 35 or later, and their relatives. ARM is not supported yet.

Signing in with Zynclave

Tark keeps your sign-in in your desktop's keyring (GNOME Keyring or KWallet). Without one, as in some bare window managers, it still works, but the sign-in is only weakly protected on disk.
