i2p.net/en/docs/guides/installing-i2p-on-debian-and-ubuntu/ documents the experimental PPA method:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:i2p-maintainers/i2p
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install i2pbut then when I ran:
i2prouter startit fails with:

I2P on Ubuntu browser setup 2026-08-07
It does not come with a default browser... A popular option seems to be to install a praivate browser such as LibreWolf (Firefox based) to be your I2P thing www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFE1J9YhhWg Setting it up as such makes it not work as a regular clearnet browser. Instructions at: librewolf.net/installation/debian/
sudo apt update && sudo apt install extrepo -y
sudo extrepo enable librewolf && sudo extrepo update librewolf
sudo apt update && sudo apt install librewolf -yThen go to Proxy settings and set Manual proxy configuration:
Another setting you really want in LibreWolf is:otherwise it keeps complaining every time that pages are not https, because they are all http, because the security is happening at a lower layer of the protocol already.
Then I can visit the sample website tracker2.postman.i2p. It complains that it's not https, but I say, OK, I think I'm already mega encrypted figers crossed. It is a simple oldschool forum like phpBB where people announce their I2P compatible Torrents. From the posts I can copy a Magnet link and add it to 127.0.0.1:7657/i2psnark/, the built-in Torrent thing, the only convenient thing they have pre-setup for you :-)
Shame setting up this project is so difficult, it can never reach mainstream like this. Tor Browser and centralized VPN are so much more streamlined. But if it were mainstream, it would be boring? Early 200ss vibes come to mind.

I2P on Ubuntu 2026-08-07
On Ubuntu 26.04, visiting i2p.net/en/downloads/ recommended me to download files.i2p.net/2.12.0/i2pinstall_2.12.0.jar so I did:Then after some clicking faffand it told me:and it automatically opened up a Chrome tab at: 127.0.0.1:7657/welcome

running: PID:423806To make things more bearable I added this to my
.bashrc:i2p() (
cd ~/i2p

)so I can just:

I2P 2026-08-07
Seems very similar to Tor, but also supports anonymous sharing of large files, notably via BitTorrent, which Tor does not support well. Shame.
