Alternatively, you can build from source.

For now, Radicle only works on Linux, macOS and BSD variants.

Radicle Desktop 🖥️

For a graphical collaborative experience check out the Radicle Desktop client, as well.

The Radicle protocol leverages cryptographic identities for code and social
artifacts, utilizes Git for efficient data transfer between peers, and employs
a custom gossip protocol for exchanging repository metadata.

Your Data, Forever and Secure

All social artifacts are stored in Git, and signed using public-key
cryptography. Radicle verifies the authenticity and authorship of all data
for you.

Unparalleled Autonomy

Radicle enables users to run their own nodes, ensuring censorship-resistant
code collaboration and fostering a resilient network without reliance on
third-parties.

Local-first

Radicle is local-first, providing always-available functionality even
without internet access. Users own their data, making migration, backup, and
access easy both online and offline.

Evolvable & Extensible

Radicle’s Collaborative Objects (COBs) provide Radicle’s social
primitive. This enables features such as issues, discussions and code review
to be implemented as Git objects. Developers can extend Radicle’s capabilities
to build any kind of collaboration flow they see fit.

Modular by Design

The Radicle Stack comes with a CLI, web interface and TUI, that are backed by
the Radicle Node and HTTP Daemon. It’s modular, so any part can be swapped out
and other clients can be developed.
