On Ubuntu and distributions based on it (e.g. Linux Mint, elementary OS, Pop!_OS, various Ubuntu flavors), run the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nicotine-team/stable
sudo apt update; sudo apt install nicotine
On Debian and distributions based on it (e.g. Devuan, Peppermint OS), run the following:
sudo apt update; sudo apt install python3-launchpadlib software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/nicotine-team/stable/ubuntu jammy main'

If no package is available for your operating system, you can install Nicotine+ from PyPi.

pip3 install nicotine-plus
Keep in mind that Nicotine+ will not update automatically. When a new release is available, run the following:
pip3 install --upgrade nicotine-plus
Stable installers are available for download. Installing Nicotine+ requires administrator privileges.
NOTE: The installer format has changed since Nicotine+ 3.2.0. If you are upgrading from Nicotine+ 3.1.1 or earlier, please uninstall Nicotine+ first (this will not remove your existing settings).
