# 1.5.3 Linux Installation

XTrackCAD is available by a variety of methods:

1. Installing from your distribution, such as Ubuntu or Fedora
2. Installing the desired version from the XTrkCad release page; https://sourceforge.net/projects/xtrkcad-fork/files/XTrackCad/
3. Installing from the self-extracting archive.

Normally XTrkCAD is installed in `/usr/...` or `/usr/local/...`. If you install XTrackCAD into another directory, set the `XTRKCADLIB` environment variable to point to that directory.
