### Option A: Arch Linux (AUR)
### Option A: Flatpak (Recommended)
BearWave is officially available in the Arch User Repository as `bearwave-git`. You can easily install it using an AUR helper like `yay` or `paru`:
For security (sandboxing) and ease of updates, we recommend installing BearWave from our independent, GPG-signed repository. This is also the ideal path for immutable distributions (like Fedora Silverblue or SteamOS):
```bash
# Add the BearWave repository
flatpak remote-add --user bearwave-repo https://flatpak.bearwave.app/bearwave.flatpakrepo
# Install the application
flatpak install --user bearwave-repo de.nerdbear.bearwave
