## From GTK3 to Qt Rewrite

The future of AlmaLinux Creative Installer is built on Qt. We're migrating the entire foundation from GTK to Qt5 / Qt6 for a more native feel, smoother UI scaling, and better long-term maintenance across AlmaLinux 9 and 10.

## Everything taken care of,
no IT team required

We bridge the gap between enterprise Linux stability and the ease-of-use you need as a professional artist.

🖱️

### Independent Setup

No more terminal commands. No manual dependency hunting. Get your studio up and running entirely through a clean, visual interface.

📦

### Multi-Source Smart Installs

Automatically handles DNF, Flatpak, RPM, and vendor installers. We've done the work to find the best way to install each specific creative app.

🛡️

### Enterprise Security Model

Secure by design. The GUI runs unprivileged, using Polkit-protected helpers for system changes — the same way official system tools work.

⚡

### Repo Auto-Setup

Enables EPEL, CRB, RPM Fusion, Flathub, and NVIDIA drivers in one click — your system, perfectly tuned for M&E production.

Installation

## Ready in minutes,
v1.0.14 Stable (GTK)

Download the RPM for your AlmaLinux version, install it with DNF, and you're ready to create. No manual configuration needed.

The upcoming v2.0.1 release (Qt) will introduce a COPR repository for even easier updates.

bash — AlmaLinux 9

    # 1. Download the RPM from GitHub Releases
    # 2. Install with DNF (it handles the rest)
    $ sudo dnf install \
      ./almalinux-creative-installer-1.0.14-1.el9.noarch.rpm

    # 3. Launch and start creating!
    $ almalinux-creative-installer

bash — v2.0.1 + COPR

    # Enable the official COPR repository
    $ sudo dnf copr enable \
      tristantheroux/almalinux-creative-installer

    # One-command installation & updates
    $ sudo dnf install almalinux-creative-installer

🚀 COPR support will launch alongside v2.0.1 (The Qt Migration).
