About these Downloads

System Requirements:

Audacity undergoes testing on Ubuntu 22.04 and is expected to function on most major distributions. It operates seamlessly on any amd64-based computer, without specific CPU or GPU prerequisites. The AppImage version necessitates FUSE 2 for proper functionality.

Note: For optimal performance, Audacity relies on swift and continuous access to a hard drive or SSD. Use of network storage, consumer-grade external hard drives, or USB thumb drives might result in reliability issues.

Alternate Audacity Versions:

You can download older versions of Audacity on Fosshub.

Please note, before Audacity 3.0.3, the Audacity team didn’t release any binaries themselves.

Furthermore, the Linux community offers alternative releases (like debs, rpms, or flatpacks) which might include distribution-specific patches alongside our official releases.
