About these downloads
System requirements
Audacity is tested on Ubuntu 22.04 and should work on most major
distributions. Audacity has no specific CPU or GPU requirements and should
be able to run on any amd64-based computer. The AppImage requires FUSE 2 to run.
Note: Audacity requires fast, uninterrupted access to a hard
drive or SSD to operate. Network storage, consumer-grade external hard drives
or USB thumbdrives may be unreliable.
Other versions of Audacity
You can download older versions of Audacity on Fosshub.
Note that prior to Audacity 3.0.3, the Audacity team did not release any binaries
themselves.
In addition to our releases, the Linux community has alternative releases
(such as debs, rpms or flatpacks) available which may have
distribution-specific patches applied to them.
