Debian

0. If you don't have https transport for apt installed, do that first, since I'll redirect you to https in any case:
   sudo apt install apt-transport-https wget
1. Make yourself root:
   sudo -s
2. Obtain the key:
   wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/net2o-archive-keyring.gpg https://net2o.de/net2o-archive-keyring.gpg
3. Create a one-line file for the repo: Set version to either oldstable/stable/testing/unstable, whatever fits your Debian:
   version=testing
cat >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/net2o.list <<EOF
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/net2o-archive-keyring.gpg] https://net2o.de/debian $version main
EOF
4. And then fetch the repository and install
   apt update
apt install gforth-minos2
5. Leave root
   exit

OpenSuSE

0. Add repository:zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:forthy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/home:forthy.repo
1. Refresh:zypper refresh
2. Install:zypper install gforth

Flatpak

0. Add remote:
   flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists net2o https://flathub.net2o.net/repo/net2o.flatpakrepo
1. Install:
   flatpak install org.gforth.gforth
2. Since Flatpaks manage access to external resources, you want the following two aliases, one for terminal applications, the other if you use MINOS2 GUI applications:
   alias gforth="flatpak run --filesystem=$PWD org.gforth.gforth"
alias gforth-gui="flatpak run --socket=x11 --device=dri --socket=pulseaudio --filesystem=$PWD org.gforth.gforth"

Snap

0. Install:sudo snap install gforth

Docker / Podman

0. Run:docker run -it --rm forthy42/gforth
   or
   podman run -it --rm forthy42/gforth
1. Like Flatpak, you want aliases to run it with the necessary permissions:
   alias gforthdk="docker run -ti --rm forthy42/gforth"
alias gforth-guidk="docker run -ti -e USER=$USER -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix/:/tmp/.X11-unix/ -v /dev/dri:/dev/dri -v /usr/share/fonts:/usr/share/fonts -v $XAUTHORITY:/home/gforth/.Xauthority -v ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/pulse:/run/user/1000/pulse --rm forthy42/gforth-gui"
alias gforth-gui-fontsdk="docker run -ti -e USER=$USER -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix/:/tmp/.X11-unix/ -v /dev/dri:/dev/dri -v $XAUTHORITY:/home/gforth/.Xauthority -v ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/pulse:/run/user/1000/pulse --rm forthy42/gforth-gui-fonts"
