Install guide

Untar, launch with a dedicated profile. That's the whole guide.

Linux x86_64

$ wget {DL}/releases/{BASE_VER}/cryolite-{BASE_VER}.tar.xz
$ wget {DL}/releases/{BASE_VER}/SHA256SUMS
$ sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS
$ tar -xJf cryolite-{BASE_VER}.tar.xz
$ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/cryolite-profile   # your data lives here, not in the tree
$ ./bin/cryolite --profile ~/.local/share/cryolite-profile

The tarball contains bin/ — the application directory exactly as the build produced it. No installer, no self-mutation, nothing written outside your chosen profile directory.

System dependencies

The build links against your system's shared libraries like any distribution Firefox: gtk3, libpulse, dbus-glib, libx11 and friends. On AcreetionOS and other Arch-likes, the standard firefox dependency set covers everything.

Keeping it fresh

The browser never updates itself — by design. Re-download on each cycle or respin, or wrap the URL in your package manager / a cron script. The downloads site always serves the newest promoted version plus per-cycle archives.
