Debian

The stock Debian package generated by the Tauri bundler has everything you need to ship your application to Debian-based Linux distributions, defining your application’s icons, generating a Desktop file, and specifying the dependencies libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 and libgtk-3-0, along with libappindicator3-1 if your app uses the system tray.

Custom Files

Tauri exposes a few configurations for the Debian package in case you need more control.

If your app depends on additional system dependencies you can specify them in tauri.conf.json > bundle > linux > deb.

To include custom files in the Debian package, you can provide a list of files or folders in tauri.conf.json > bundle > linux > deb > files. The configuration object maps the path in the Debian package to the path to the file on your filesystem, relative to the tauri.conf.json file. Here’s an example configuration:

{
"bundle": {
"linux": {
"deb": {
"files": {
"/usr/share/README.md": "../README.md", // copies the README.md file to /usr/share/README.md
"/usr/share/assets": "../assets/" // copies the entire assets directory to /usr/share/assets
}
}
}
}
}
