+# Installing gh on Linux
+
+The core, paid developers of `gh` officially support a `.deb` repository and a `.rpm` repository. We
+primarily test against Ubuntu and Fedora but do our best to support other distros that can work with
+our repositories. We focus on support for `amd64` and `i386` architectures.
+
+All other combinations of distro, packaging, or architecture should be considered community
+supported.
+
+## Official methods
+
+### Debian/Ubuntu Linux (apt)
+
+Install:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key C99B11DEB97541F0
+sudo apt-add-repository -u https://cli.github.com/packages
+sudo apt install gh
+```
+
+Upgrade:
+
+```
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install gh
+```
+
+### Fedora, Centos, Red Hat Linux (dnf)
+
+Install:
+
+```bash
+sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://cli.github.com/packages/rpm/gh-cli.repo
+sudo dnf install gh
+```
+
+Upgrade:
+
+```bash
+sudo dnf install gh
+```
+
+## Community supported methods
+
+### openSUSE/SUSE Linux
+
+It's possible that https://cli.github.com/packages/rpm/gh-cli.repo will work with zypper but it
+hasn't been tested. Otherwise, to install from package:
+ 
+Install and upgrade:
+
+1. Download the `.rpm` file from the [releases page][];
+2. Install the downloaded file: `sudo zypper in gh_*_linux_amd64.rpm`
