##### Downstream Debian packages

We do not recommend using the packages from the default Debian `buster`
repository at this time, as they are old and suffer from known security
vulnerabilities. You can install the latest version of Synapse from
[our repository](#matrixorg-packages) or from `buster-backports`. Please
see the [Debian documentation](https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/)
for information on how to use backports.

If you are using Debian `sid` or testing, Synapse is available in the default
repositories and it should be possible to install it simply with:
Andrej Shadura maintains a `matrix-synapse` package in the Debian repositories.
For `bookworm` and `sid`, it can be installed simply with:

```sh
sudo apt install matrix-synapse
```

Synapse is also avaliable in `bullseye-backports`. Please
see the [Debian documentation](https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/)
for information on how to use backports.

`matrix-synapse` is no longer maintained for `buster` and older.
