Install

Install Up Next from the timmo pacman repository, a Debian or RPM package, or a release archive.

Up Next is a single Linux binary for x86_64 and aarch64. Every package includes the binary, the upnext.service user service and shell completions for bash, zsh and fish.

Arch Linux

Packages are published to the unofficial timmo pacman repository. Add it before the other repository sections in /etc/pacman.conf:

[timmo]
SigLevel = PackageRequired DatabaseOptional TrustedOnly
Server = https://packages.timmo.dev/$arch

Then install one of the two packages:

sudo pacman -Syu upnext-bin

The packages conflict with each other, so installing one replaces the other. Both replace twitch-notifications-git.

The install hook enables upnext.service for every user’s future logins. If you install with sudo from a running desktop session, it also starts the service for you. On upgrade it restarts the service only if it was already running, so a service you stopped stays stopped.

Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora

Each GitHub release has .deb and .rpm packages:

# Debian and Ubuntu
sudo apt install ./upnext_<version>_amd64.deb

# Fedora
sudo dnf install ./upnext-<version>-1.x86_64.rpm

These install the user service but don’t enable it. See Running Up Next.

Release archive

Each release also has an upnext-<version>-linux-<arch>.tar.gz archive with just the binary. Put it somewhere on your PATH:

tar -xzf upnext-<version>-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
install -Dm755 upnext ~/.local/bin/upnext

Release assets come with a SHA256SUMS file and a Sigstore bundle. To check an asset was built by this repository’s release workflow:

gh attestation verify upnext-<version>-linux-x86_64.tar.gz --repo timmo001/upnext

Build from source

You need mise, which installs the pinned Bun and Node versions:

git clone https://github.com/timmo001/upnext.git
cd upnext
mise install
mise run build

The binary is written to dist/upnext.

Next steps

• Configure Twitch, YouTube and your channels.
• Run Up Next as a user service.
