Orion Torrent Client is listed as com.ktechpit.orion on Flathub and as orion-desktop in the Snap Store, so install it from the catalog your distribution already supports and use it only for files you have permission to share.
Choose the install route your Linux system supports
Flatpak and Snap distribute the same desktop client through separate package systems, and each catalog uses a different application identifier.
| Route | Package name | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
| Flathub with Flatpak | com.ktechpit.orion | Your distribution has Flatpak and the Flathub remote configured. |
| Snap Store with snapd | orion-desktop | Your distribution uses snapd and you prefer the Snap Store. |
Install Orion Torrent Client with Flatpak
The Flathub listing identifies the app as com.ktechpit.orion, which you can install after Flatpak and the Flathub remote are available on your system.
flatpak install flathub com.ktechpit.orion
Confirm the prompts, then start Orion from your desktop app launcher or use the terminal command below.
flatpak run com.ktechpit.orion
If your shell reports that Flatpak is not installed, set up Flatpak for your distribution and add Flathub before repeating the install command. The Flatpak documentation describes the package and remote commands for supported systems.
Install Orion Torrent Client from the Snap Store
The Snap Store lists Orion under the orion-desktop package name for Linux systems where snapd is installed and running.
sudo snap install orion-desktop
After installation, open Orion from the application menu or launch the installed Snap from a terminal.
snap run orion-desktop
Verify the installed package
Checking the package record separates an installation issue from a desktop-launcher issue.
flatpak info com.ktechpit.orion
snap list orion-desktop
Orion accepts torrent files, magnet links, and torrent hashes according to its current Flathub listing, while the package manager cannot establish that a file is safe or that you have the right to distribute it.
Remove Orion later
Use the matching package system for removal. Removing an app does not remove files you already downloaded, so review your download directory separately.
flatpak uninstall com.ktechpit.orion
sudo snap remove orion-desktop
Use torrents responsibly
BitTorrent is a transfer protocol, not permission to share protected work. Use Orion for Linux distributions, open-source releases, and other files whose license or owner permits redistribution.
Open the current Flathub listing or the current Snap Store listing before installing so you can choose the package system your distribution supports.
Can I install Orion Torrent Client on Linux with Flatpak?
Yes. Flathub lists Orion as com.ktechpit.orion. Install it with Flatpak only after Flatpak and the Flathub remote are configured on your system.
What is the Snap package name for Orion Torrent Client?
The Snap Store lists the app as orion-desktop. Install it with sudo snap install orion-desktop on a Linux system with snapd available.
Is downloading torrents legal?
The BitTorrent protocol is legal, but you need permission to download or redistribute the file. Use it for Linux images, open-source releases, and other content that the owner permits you to share.
