_Originally created by @sajolida on [#11561 (Redmine)](https://public-redmine-archive.tails.boum.org/code/issues/11561)_ Tails Installer is available in Linux Mint Sarah. Mint is a very popular distribution and the process is very close to the one from Debian. So it would be good to advertise the Debian installation as working for Mint as well and adapt it accordingly. There are two ways of installation Tails Installer in Mint: **Synaptic** and **Software Manager**, which is a custom tool from Mint. Note that the **Software Sources** dialog of Mint (in both **Software Manager** and **Synaptic**) is custom as well. Enjoy… Here are some notes on both methods: \* With **Software Manager** 1. Start **Software Manager**. 2. Choose **Edit** → **Software source**. 3. **PPAs** tab. 4. **Add a new PPA…**. ppa:tails-team/tails-installer 5. Update the cache. 6. Close dialog. 7. Wait for **Software Manager** to reappear. 8. Search tails-installer. \* With **Synaptic** 1. Menu → System → Package Manager. 2. Settings → Repositories. 3. **PPAs** tab. 4. **Add a new PPA…**. ppa:tails-team/tails-installer 5. Close dialog. 6. In Synaptic: **Reload**. 7. Wait while “Rebuild search index”. 8. Search tails-installer. 9. Mark for installation. 10. etc. Feature Branch: doc/11561-linux-mint ### Attachments * [ppa description.png](https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/attachments/download/1407/ppa%20description.png) * [software manager.png](https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/attachments/download/1408/software%20manager.png) * [software sources.png](https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/attachments/download/1409/software%20sources.png) * [software sources with ppa.png](https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/attachments/download/1410/software%20sources%20with%20ppa.png) ### Related issues - **Related to** tails/tails#11404 - **Related to** tails/tails#11378
