## Linux Packages (RPM or Flatpak)
(To be updated for version 0.83.10)
Both RPM and Flatpak packages are officially released for the Linux operating system (with X11). You can select one of these packages depending on your Linux system and your needs. The Linux Fatpak package has the advantage of being supported by most or all Linux distributions, but it will run in a sandbox on your Linux system so that you may not able to access some system-wide resources.
(RPM package to be updated for version 0.83.10)
The standard RPM package is available for 64-bit Linux, specifically CentOS 7 / RHEL 7 ("el7") platforms:

Where ``<filename>`` is the main file name of the RPM package you wish to install. You may want to use the debug build if you desire to do some debugging work when running DOSBox-X. If there are missing dependencies for the rpm command, such as libpng and fluid-soundfont, then you will need to install them first. However, RPM packages are not natively supported by Linux distributions such as Debian, Ubuntu, or Linux Mint (although the ``alien`` command may sometimes help). In such case you probably want to use the Flatpak package, which works independent of your Linux distribution.
Flatpak packages are standalone applications independent of Linux distributions. For the current DOSBox-X version 0.83.9 the Linux Flatpak is available from:

The HX-DOS package allows you to run DOSBox-X in a real DOS system (MS-DOS 5.0+ or compatible) with the help of the freely-available [HX DOS Extender](https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/HX), which is already included in the recent DOS release packages. Once you unzip the package you can directly type ```DOSBOX-X``` to run in DOS. See the README.TXT file inside the DOS package for more information.
Alternatively, you can run DOSBox-X from a DOS environment with the help of the free [LOADLIN](https://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/linux/lnut/ch04_03.htm) program. The alternative DOS package for DOSBox-X 0.83.9 using this approach is available from (to be updated for 0.83.10):

With this LOADLIN DOS package you can even run DOSBox-X right from DOSBox-X's DOS shell. Start the outside DOSBox-X with the setting ```memsize=127``` and ```cputype=pentium``` (perhaps also ```fullscreen=true```). Go to the directory where the files are extracted and type ```DOSBOX-X```. Then just wait for DOSBox-X to be automatically loaded within DOSBox-X.
