# F-Droid Client
|

|
|
|
|
Client for [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org), the Free Software repository system
|
|
for Android.
|
|
|
|
## Building with Gradle
|
|
|
|
./gradlew assembleRelease
|
|
|
|
## Direct download
|
|
|
|
You can [download the application](https://f-droid.org/F-Droid.apk) directly
|
|
from our site or [browse it in the repo](https://f-droid.org/app/org.fdroid.fdroid).
|
|
|
|
## Libraries
|
|
|
|
Core F-Droid functionality is split into re-usable libraries
|
|
to make using F-Droid technology in your own projects as easy as possible.
|
|
|
|

## Contributing

|
See our [Contributing doc](CONTRIBUTING.md) for information on how to report
|
|
issues, translate the app into your language or help with development.

|
## IRC
|
|
|
|
We are on `#fdroid` and `#fdroid-dev` on OFTC. We hold weekly dev meetings
|
|
on `#fdroid-dev` on Thursdays at 11:30h UTC, which usually last half an hour.
|
|
|
|
## FAQ
|
|
|
|
* Why does F-Droid require "Unknown Sources" to install apps by default?
|
|
|
|
Because a regular Android app cannot act as a package manager on its
|
|
own. To do so, it would require system privileges (see below), similar
|
|
to what Google Play does.
|
|
|
|
* Can I avoid enabling "Unknown Sources" by installing F-Droid as a
|
|
privileged system app?
|
|
|
|
This used to be the case, but no longer is. Now the [Privileged
|
|
Extension](https://gitlab.com/fdroid/privileged-extension) is the one that should be placed in
|
|
the system. It can be bundled with a ROM or installed via a zip.
