See [`docs/webkit-poc-findings.md`](docs/webkit-poc-findings.md) for the
friction report from the POC phase.
## Install
One-command install on Debian 13 (trixie) or similar (x86_64, WebKitGTK 4.1):
```bash
curl -fsSL https://git.laantungir.net/laantungir/sovereign_browser/raw/branch/master/install.sh | bash
```
This downloads and runs [`install.sh`](install.sh), which:
1. Installs runtime dependencies via `apt` (WebKitGTK 4.1, libsoup, curl, etc.)
2. Installs **Tor** via `apt` (used for `.onion` routing)
3. Builds and installs **FIPS** from source with `CAP_NET_ADMIN` (used for `.fips` mesh routing)
4. Downloads the latest prebuilt `sovereign_browser` binary from the [Gitea releases](https://git.laantungir.net/laantungir/sovereign_browser/releases) (falls back to a source build if no binary is available)
5. Installs a `sovereign-browser` wrapper command to `/usr/local/bin`
After install, start the browser with:
```bash
sovereign-browser start --login-method generate
```
### Install options
```bash
# Non-root install to a user-writable prefix
curl -fsSL <url> | INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local bash -s -- --yes
# Force a source build instead of downloading the prebuilt binary
curl -fsSL <url> | bash -s -- --build-from-source
# Review the script before running it
curl -fsSL <url> -o install.sh
less install.sh
bash install.sh
```
Run `bash install.sh --help` for the full option list.
### What the install requires
| Requirement | Why |
|---|---|
| Debian 13+ / Ubuntu 24.04+ (WebKitGTK 4.1) | The browser is dynamically linked against `libwebkit2gtk-4.1` |
| x86_64 | Prebuilt binary is x86-64; arm64 needs `--build-from-source` |
| `sudo` / root | For `apt install`, `setcap` on the FIPS binary, and writing to `/usr/local` |
| Internet access | To download the binary, apt packages, and the FIPS source |
Tor and FIPS are **installed by default** (not optional). If either is absent at runtime the browser degrades gracefully — clearnet still works, `.onion`/`.fips` show an error page — but the installer sets them up so everything works out of the box.

# --- FIPS ----------------------------------------------------------------
#
# FIPS is a Rust project (https://github.com/jmcorgan/fips). It publishes
# prebuilt release tarballs on GitHub Releases containing the `fips` binary
# plus tools (fipsctl, fipstop) and systemd units. We download the prebuilt
# x86_64 Linux tarball by default — much faster than a cargo build.
#
# With --build-fips-from-source, we instead clone the repo and run
# `cargo build --release` (requires Rust 1.94.1+ via rustup, and libclang-dev
# for the rustables/bindgen nftables bindings).
# Download the prebuilt FIPS tarball from GitHub Releases and extract the
# `fips` binary. Outputs a stable binary path on stdout (the file is copied
# to a caller-managed temp file so it survives after this function returns).
# Returns non-zero on failure so the caller can fall back to a source build.
