Packages
Caffeine is currently only packaged for Ubuntu (package maintainers for other distributions are more than welcome to contact us), but it should work for most distributions that use the debian package format.
Ubuntu
PPA
The packages are being distributed via a ppa:
https://launchpad.net/~caffeine-developers/+archive/ppa
For more information on how to add a ppa to your repositories in Ubuntu, go here.
Arch Linux
AUR
Add the repository for yaourt:
Then install yaourt:
- pacman -Sy yaourt
And finally install caffeine from the AUR:
- yaourt -S caffeine
Stand-alone package or tarball
Stand-alone packages and tarballs are available for download. Please note that by installing Caffeine this way, you will not receive any subsequent updates - but must instead re-download the package every time a new version is released.

Getting the source code
If you are not running a debian based distribution or the packages just don't seem to work for you, you can get the code directly from launchpad by running:
bzr branch lp:caffeine/0.3
Please note that this will get you the 0.3 version of Caffeine. At the time of writing, this is the latest stable version of Caffeine. To check if a newer version is out, go to our Launchpad project page
Getting the development version
To get the very latest code you might want to download what's known as the "trunk" branch. To do that, simply run:
bzr branch lp:caffeine
Running from source
To run Caffeine straight from the source without installing it first, simply navigate to the folder downloaded with either of the two commands above, and run the following command:
./bin/caffeine
If you get an error saying that you don't have permission to execute the program, run the following command and then try again.
chmod u+x bin/caffeine
