TeXstudio Builds

Custom builds of TeXstudio with Qt6 and Poppler for modern Linux distributions.

Features

• ✅ Built with Qt6 (modern Qt framework)
• ✅ Poppler PDF viewer (better rendering than Poppler-Qt5)
• ✅ Optimized for Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions
• ✅ Automatic updates via APT repository
• ✅ All dependencies included

🚀 Quick Install (Recommended)

The easiest way to install TeXstudio and keep it updated is via our APT repository. This method will automatically install all required dependencies (Qt6, Poppler, Hunspell, etc.).

1. Add the repository

echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://mlmateos.github.io/texstudio-qt6-builds/ pool/" |   sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/texstudio.list

2. Update package list

sudo apt update

3. Install TeXstudio

sudo apt install texstudio

Note: This will automatically download and install all required dependencies, including:

• Qt6 libraries
• Poppler-Qt6 (PDF viewer)
• Hunspell (spell checking)
• QuaZip
• And other required libraries

4. Verify installation

texstudio --version
# Should show: TeXstudio 4.9.5 (4.9.5)

Updating

When a new version is released, simply run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade texstudio

📦 Alternative: Manual Installation

1. Go to Releases
2. Download the latest texstudio-*-qt6-amd64.deb
3. Install with:

sudo apt install ./texstudio-*-qt6-amd64.deb

Dependencies will be automatically resolved and installed.
