 ===== XRouter (XrPi, XrLin, XrWin) Downloads =====
-This page is a work in progress!
+[[packet:xrouter|Back to Main XRouter Page]]
-==== For 32-bit Raspberry Pi and Other ARM devices: ====
+This page is a "work in progress". The plan is to put more stuff on here, but the wiki only accepts files up to 2 megabytes. The very latest files can always be obtained from the XRouter group files area at:
-{{xrpi32v504a.zip}}
+https://groups.io/g/xrouter/files
-==== For 64-bit Raspberry Pi and Other ARM devices: ====
+These are the XRouter executables, as of 25th September 2025.
+If you already have a working XRouter system, simply replace the old executable with the new one as follows:
+  - Download the variant that suits your OS (see below).
+  - Unzip the archive to extract the executable file.
+  - Rename the executable to "xrlin", "xrpi" or "xrwin" as appropriate.
+  - Backup or rename your existing executable, just in case.
+  - Copy or move the new executable into your working XRouter directory.
+  - For Linux, remember to use "chmod -x {progname}" to allow it to run.
+  - Run with "./xrpi" or "sudo ./xrpi" as appropriate.
+The "static" variants are standalone programs with no dependencies, so they should run on any Linux OS version. The non-static versions require a suitable version of GLIBC, which change with every OS. XRouter variants for older OS versions will generally run on later OS versions, but not necessarily the other way around. For example, the "stretch" variant will run on Bullseye, but the Bullseye version won't run on Stretch.
+If you don't have an existing XRouter setup, you will need a full release package. This is too big for the wiki, so you will need to download the "support files" and executable separately.
+(more on this to follow....)

+==== Executables for 32-bit Raspberry Pi and Other ARM devices: ====
+The wiki doesn't allow uploads greater than 2Mb, so the support files and executables are shown separately...

-==== For X86 Linux: ====
+==== Executables for X86 Linux: ====
+{{xrlin32v504a-vanessa.zip|Linux Mint 21 (Vanessa)}}
+{{xrlin32v504a-buster.zip |Debian 10 (Buster)}}
+{{xrlin32v504a-stretch.zip|Debian 9 (Stretch)}}
+==== Executables for X86-64 Linux: ====
+{{xrlin64v504k-vanessa.zip|v504j for Linux Mint 21 (Vanessa)}}
+{{xrlin64v504k-static.zip|v504j for any flavour of Linux}}
+The "vanessa" version should work on most recent flavours of Linux, especially if they are Debian or Ubuntu-based.
+The "static" version is completely self-contained, with no dependencies, hence it SHOULD work on any flavour of linux.  The downside of this version is that you MUST specify a Domain Name Server in XROUTER.CFG (e.g. DNS=8.8.8.8).  This is because statically-linked programs are not able to use the Linux resolver.
+==== Executables for MS Windows: ====
+These are 32-bit, but work OK on 64-bit Windows
+This one requires WINPCAP or NPCAP if you want to directly access the Ethernet via XRouter's IP stack:
+{{xrwin32v504a.zip}}
+This one doesn't require PCAP, but doesn't allow direct access to Ethernet:
+{{xrwin32v504a-no-pcap.zip}}
