# Linux

## Prerequisites

Briefcase requires installing Python 3.9+. You will also need a method for managing virtual environments (such as `venv`).

## Packaging format

Briefcase supports packaging Linux apps as native system packages, as an AppImage, and in Flatpak format.

The default output format for Linux is system packages.

- Native System Packages
- AppImage
