OpenRazer consists of a driver, a daemon and a Python library.

The "out-of-tree" driver is compiled using DKMS. Kernel headers that match your running kernel version need to be installed. In most distributions, this is usually a metapackage. Some packages (e.g. Ubuntu/Debian) Recommends the default headers and would be installed automatically.

In order for the daemon to work, you'll need to add your user to the plugdev group. In most distributions, this is:

sudo gpasswd -a $USER plugdev

After following the instructions for your distribution below, a system reboot is recommended so the user group change takes effect, and to bind the OpenRazer driver.

On its own, OpenRazer doesn't provide a graphical interface, but you can install one of the mentioned at the top of this page or this list.

From the PPA via the Terminal

This will keep the drivers up-to-date when new versions are released.

If you're using elementaryOS, you'll need to install a prerequisite first:

sudo apt install software-properties-gtk

To install the recommended stable builds:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openrazer/stable

Alternately, if you wish to use the latest development builds, use daily instead -- use at your own risk!

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openrazer/daily

After adding the PPA, install the packages:

sudo apt update sudo apt install openrazer-meta

NOTE: If you get dependency errors when trying to install the driver packages please make sure that you have enabled the "universe" repository in Software & Updates

After the drivers are installed, please restart the computer.

This PPA supports these versions:

Ubuntu 16.04 "Xenial" and newer
Linux Mint 18 "Sarah" and newer
elementaryOS 0.4 "Loki" and newer
