# Announcing the GitButler CLI for Linux

**[GitButler Blog](https://daily.dev/sources/gitbutler)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

GitButler has announced official Linux support for its CLI tool called 'but'. It can be installed either bundled with the full GitButler GUI application (via deb or rpm packages starting from version 0.19.6) or as a standalone binary via a curl installer. The standalone binary dynamically links to glibc 2.35, which may cause compatibility issues on older distributions. Building from source with Cargo is also an option for those needing more control or running older distros.
