This repo (master branch which is 
) Can be viewed as a mirror of Launchpad PPA. I will keep sync this with the LP PPA. As this is deprecated use this section section alternatively.
The development branch is important as I will be using that branch to push new patches related to building PipeWire, blueman-git and their dependencies.
The recommended & convenient way
# You can update your system with unsupported packages from this untrusted PPA by adding ppa:pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream
# to your system's Software Sources.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream
sudo apt-get update
# This PPA can be added to your system manually by running below commands, It directly create
# a file under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ containing source mirror list.
# First Download key from keyservers directly into the trusted set of keys, Run 2 commands below.
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 25088A0359807596
gpg -a --export 25088A0359807596 | sudo apt-key add -
# Or,
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 25088A0359807596
echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pipewire-upstream.list
# For Non ubuntu Debian based Users, Edit `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pipewire-upstream.list` and change your `distro_code_name` equivalent to any one of ubuntu
# `distro_code_name`. (For example, MX Linux 19.4 based on Debian buster, And equivalent to `ubuntu 18.04`, so replace `buster` with `bionic` in the mentioned file.)
# Below is generaly not required unless you are not inspecting a package or not thinking about repackaging from the source.
echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pipewire-upstream.list Use IFF you have a good reason Or If your distro (other debian based) Can't install from LP PPA.
curl -SsL https://pipewire-debian.github.io/pipewire-debian/ubuntu/KEY.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo curl -SsL -o /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pipewire.list https://pipewire-debian.github.io/pipewire-debian/ubuntu/pipewire.list
sudo apt update
Consult with the Troubleshooting page if there is any error occured.
For MX Linux or Debian buster see this for which packages are to be insalled or upgraded.
# Install dependencies
sudo apt install libfdk-aac2 libldacbt-{abr,enc}2 libopenaptx0
# If `libfdk-aac2` not found install `libfdk-aac1`
# Install pipewire and additional packages
sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-pipewire libpipewire-0.3-{0,dev,modules} libspa-0.2-{bluetooth,dev,jack,modules} pipewire{,-{audio-client-libraries,pulse,media-session,bin,locales,tests}}
# Additionally, if you want to install `pipewire-doc`
sudo apt install pipewire-doc
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For blueman-git ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# Before installing blueman-git, remove and purge any official version of blueman.
sudo apt-get remove --purge blueman && sudo rm -f /var/lib/blueman/network.state
# Then, to install issue below command.
sudo apt-get install blueman-git You don't need to uninstall PulseAudio to enable PipeWire, disable and mask PulseAudio related services to stop them
systemctl --user --now disable pulseaudio.{socket,service}
systemctl --user mask pulseaudio Additional steps for ubuntu 18.04 Or Equivalent distros
# You need to tell Pulseaudio not to respawn itself by issuing this command:
sed -i 's/.*autospawn.*/autospawn = no/g' ~/.config/pulse/client.conf
# If `~/.config/pulse/client.conf` not found then issue this,
sudo sed -i 's/.*autospawn.*/autospawn = no/g' /etc/pulse/client.conf
# Additonally if `/etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-enable-autospawn.conf` this file exist do (Mx Linux)
sudo sed -i 's/.*autospawn.*/autospawn = no/g' /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-enable-autospawn.conf
# Also If `/etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktp` file exist, you have to backup this file to somewhere or have to delete it.
# And finally issue
pulseaudio --kill For Mx Linux Or init system
# Mx Linux uses init system by default, Anyone using `systemd` ignore this section.
# Some users feel anoying to start `pipewire` services becasue of PW doesn't shift any scripts for non systemd, So Now how to start
# All `pipewire` services in init system?
# There is a solution on internet see this : Slackware Solution the idea is same for Mx Linux also
# For the above solution you have to install daemon program or do the below modifcation on those `.desktop` files.
substitue this `Exec=/usr/bin/pipewire` line with above `pipewire.desktop` file where you find lines starting with `Exec`.
substitue this `Exec=/usr/bin/pipewire-pulse` line with above `pipewire-pulse.desktop` file where you find lines starting with `Exec`.
substitue this `Exec=/usr/bin/pipewire-media-session` line with above `pipewire-media-session.desktop` file where you find lines starting with `Exec`.
Since version 0.3.28 conf files are moved to /usr/share/ directory from /etc/. You have to copy them to /etc/ directory manually. From Now /etc/pipewire/ can be used as system wide drop in for User edited conf files. conffile overridden behaviour is $HOME/.config/pipewire > /etc/pipewire > /usr/share/pipewire
To copy conffiles from /usr/share/ to /etc/, issue below command. (Optional)
sudo cp -vRa /usr/share/pipewire /etc/Enable and start PipeWire related services (init system users, Ignore this)
systemctl --user --now enable pipewire{,-pulse}.{socket,service} pipewire-media-session.serviceYou can check which server is in use by running (as a user):
pactl info | grep '^Server Name'If your system doesn't have any sound, please reboot
Incase of blueman, just enable below service. (init system users, Ignore this)
sudo systemctl enable --now blueman-mechanism.serviceIf PipeWire was installed by default on your system, There are no way to completely remove it, because other packages may have dependency on PipeWire, You can only downgrade PipeWire to the system default version in that case, for more consult with Troubleshooting page.
Normally, Uninstall pipewire is pretty straight forward like the Installation phase, So follow the installation
Section, you just need to reverse the whole thing in that section. For more search on the internet, how to remove a package?.
