Notes on versioning and packaging all these components together properly will be added at a later stage once COSMIC DE gets its first release.
## Installing on Pop!_OS
## Installing on Pop!\_OS
COSMIC DE is in its first alpha release. Using and testing the alpha is welcome. Bugs and breakage are expected.

### Pop!\_OS 24.04 Alpha
The recommended way to test COSMIC Epoch on Pop!\_OS is by using the Pop!\_OS 24.04 LTS Alpha release. There are two ways to get the 24.04 Alpha:
- Install it from the [latest Alpha release ISO](https://system76.com/cosmic/).
- Upgrade an existing Pop!\_OS 22.04 installation using the following command: `pop-upgrade release upgrade -f`
- If you experience problems during the upgrade, please open an issue in the [pop-upgrade GitHub repository](https://github.com/pop-os/upgrade) or join the [Pop!\_OS Mattermost chat server](https://chat.pop-os.org) for assistance.
Pop!\_OS 24.04 Alpha installations will be upgradable to the final 24.04 release, but some manual interventions may occasionally be required during development. If you're using Pop!\_OS 24.04 Alpha, then it's recommended to join the [Pop!\_OS Mattermost chat server](https://chat.pop-os.org) to receive news about the 24.04 development cycle.
### Pop!\_OS 22.04
Due to dependency requirements, **COSMIC Epoch is no longer receiving updates on Pop!\_OS 22.04 LTS.** It's no longer recommended to test COSMIC Epoch on Pop!\_OS 22.04 because the latest bug fixes and features are only available on newer distributions such as Pop!\_OS 24.04.
Individual COSMIC applications work in the default GNOME session of Pop!\_OS 22.04. You can install individual COSMIC applications using the following command:
```
sudo apt install cosmic-edit cosmic-files cosmic-player cosmic-store cosmic-term
```
#### Old Release on 22.04
An **older release** of the COSMIC Epoch desktop environment alpha is still available on Pop!\_OS 22.04 LTS. If you encounter bugs while testing COSMIC Epoch on Pop!\_OS 22.04, please check if they exist in Pop!\_OS 24.04 before reporting them. You can install the older release on 22.04 with these instructions:
