Upscayl emerges as a beacon for professionals and enthusiasts alike, offering an AI-powered solution to upscale images without compromising on detail.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the Upscayl AI image upscaled on a Manjaro Linux.

Prerequisites

• A server or desktop running one of the following operating systems: Manjaro, and other Arch-based distributions.
• It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
• SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
• A stable internet connection is crucial for downloading and installing packages. Verify your connection before proceeding.
• Access to a Manjaro Linux system with a non-root sudo user or root user.

Install Upscayl on Manjaro

Step 1. To ensure all your system packages are up to date, execute the following command in the terminal:

sudo pacman -Syu

This command synchronizes the package database and updates all installed packages to their latest versions.

Step 2. Installing Flatpak.

Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that Flatpak is installed on your Manjaro system. If it is not installed, you can install it using the following command:

pamac install flatpak

Flathub is the go-to repository for finding and installing Flatpak applications. If it’s not already added to your system, you can do so with the following command:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Step 3. Installing Upscayl on Manjaro.

With Flathub configured, you’re now set to install Upscayl. Run the following command to commence the installation process:

flatpak install flathub org.upscayl.Upscayl

This command fetches and installs Upscayl along with any dependencies, ensuring a smooth setup.

Step 4. Launch Upscayl on Manjaro.

Once the installation is complete, you can launch Upscayl using the command:

flatpak run org.upscayl.Upscayl

If you need to uninstall Upscayl, you can do so with the command:

flatpak uninstall org.upscayl.Upscayl
