## Installation and updates
You can install NewPipe using one of the following methods:
1. Add our custom repo to F-Droid and install it from there. The instructions are here: https://newpipe.net/FAQ/tutorials/install-add-fdroid-repo/
2. Download the APK from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/releases) and install it. <b>(See APK Info below.)</b>
