!!! tip "Usage Help"

The tabs represent the built-in mirror site types and script sources. Please check whether your target mirror site supports your operating system before use. You can check in the [Mirror List](../mirrors/index.md).  
By default, the original mirror configuration will be automatically backed up. For more details, see the documentation below. If you are confused by some options during use, just press Enter all the way after selecting the mirror, which is the best practice.

_It supports use in abnormal environments such as when the original system software source is damaged, missing, or invalid. There is no need to install any additional dependencies._

!!! quote "About Mirror Selection (Must Read for New Users)"

If you are not familiar with these mirrors, it is recommended to use `Aliyun (high compatibility, strong availability)` or `USTC (fast speed)`. Don't worry about speed tests, the built-in mirrors generally do not differ much.  
This project script is an automated operation and maintenance tool. It does not subjectively rank or customize mirrors. User choice should be free, which is also to better continue the spirit of open source software.

:material-numeric-1:{style="color: #5b84f5" .lg} Run the script as ROOT user

Switch command: sudo -i or su root. Different systems use different commands because some systems do not set a password for the ROOT account during initial installation (such as Ubuntu) or the system disables ROOT login by default.
:material-numeric-2:{style="color: #5b84f5" .lg} It is recommended to use a modern SSH client

If your terminal displays garbled Chinese, you will not be able to see the interactive content. Some GUI terminal apps may have unpredictable display issues. Some systems automatically enable SSH service; otherwise, see how to enable SSH.
:material-numeric-3:{style="color: #5b84f5" .lg} If running the script for the first time on a new system

The script relies on curl to fetch content, but some systems do not preinstall this package, resulting in Command not found errors. See About Command not found below for installation. The script itself is unrelated to curl or wget and does not download any content.
:material-numeric-4:{style="color: #5b84f5" .lg} Interactive configuration is required during script execution

Use arrow keys ++arrow-up++++arrow-down++++arrow-left++++arrow-right++ or ++w++++a++++s++++d++ to control options and press ++enter++ to confirm. If interaction is abnormal, try resizing the terminal window and avoid full screen.

FAQ

About Command not found error

!!! quote ""

  This error is caused by the system not having the `curl` package installed. Install it as follows:

  === "Debian-based / openKylin"

      ``` bash
      apt-get install -y curl
      ```

      > `Debian` &nbsp; `Ubuntu` &nbsp; `Kali` &nbsp; `Linux Mint` &nbsp; `Deepin` &nbsp; `Zorin OS` &nbsp; `Armbian` &nbsp; `Proxmox VE` &nbsp; `Raspberry Pi OS` &nbsp; `openKylin`

      For new systems, run `apt-get update` first.

  === "RedHat-based / openEuler / OpenCloudOS / Anolis OS"

      ``` bash
      dnf install -y curl || yum install -y curl
      ```

      > `Red Hat Enterprise Linux` &nbsp; `CentOS` &nbsp; `Rocky Linux` &nbsp; `AlmaLinux` &nbsp; `Fedora` &nbsp; `openEuler` &nbsp; `OpenCloudOS` &nbsp; `Anolis OS`

  === "openSUSE"

      ``` bash
      zypper install curl
      ```

  === "Arch Linux / Manjaro"

      ``` bash
      pacman -S curl
      ```

  === "Alpine Linux"

      ``` bash
      apk --no-cache add -f curl bash ncurses
      ```

  === "Gentoo"

      ``` bash
      emerge --ask curl
      ```

  === "NixOS"

      ``` bash
      nix-env -iA nixos.curl
      ```

  ??? question "Can't install? (Click to see more solutions)"

      If your system's original mirror is invalid and you can't install `curl`, here are some emergency ways to fetch the script online:

      === "Download with Python"

          Works for most systems (except `Alpine Linux`). If `python3` is missing, try `python`.
          ``` bash
          python3 -c "import urllib.request; urllib.request.urlretrieve('https://linuxmirrors.cn/main.sh', 'main.sh')"
          ```

      === "Download with wget"

          Usually, systems without `curl` also lack `wget`, so this may not work.
          ``` bash
          wget https://linuxmirrors.cn/main.sh
          ```

      === "Download with browser"

          If you have GUI access, open the link in a browser to download the script. Many systems preinstall Firefox.

      Then run the script:

      === ":material-home-city: Chinese mainland"

          ``` bash
          bash main.sh --en
          ```

      === ":material-earth: International Regions"

          ``` bash
          bash main.sh --en --abroad
          ```

      === ":material-library: China Education Network"

          ``` bash
          bash main.sh --en --edu
          ```

      If none of these work, copy the [source code](https://gitee.com/SuperManito/LinuxMirrors/raw/main/ChangeMirrors.sh) to a new `.sh` file and run it with `bash`.

Backup of original mirrors

!!! quote ""

  The script automatically backs up the original mirror configuration. The backup path is the original file or directory with `.bak` appended, e.g., `/etc/apt/sources.list => /etc/apt/sources.list.bak`. If a backup exists, you will be prompted whether to overwrite it.

Restore backed up mirrors

  The commands and steps are for reference only and only cover some common distributions.

  - Check if `SSH` service is installed

      ``` bash
      ls /etc | grep ssh
      ```
      > If this folder does not exist, SSH is not installed. Install the `openssh` package with your package manager.  
      > Note that package names may differ; you can use `openssh*` as a wildcard.

  - Allow Root login

      ``` bash
      cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep -Eq "^[# ]?PermitRootLogin " ; [ $? -eq 0 ] && sed -i 's/^[# ]\?PermitRootLogin.*/PermitRootLogin yes/g' /etc/ssh/sshd_config || echo -e "\nPermitRootLogin yes" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config
      ```

  - Enable password authentication

      ``` bash
      cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep -Eq "^[# ]?PasswordAuthentication " ; [ $? -eq 0 ] && sed -i 's/^[# ]\?PasswordAuthentication.*/PasswordAuthentication yes/g' /etc/ssh/sshd_config || echo -e "\nPasswordAuthentication yes" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config
      ```

  - Start/restart `SSH` service

      ``` bash
      ps -ef | grep -q ssh ; [ $? -eq 0 ] && systemctl restart sshd || systemctl enable --now sshd
      ```
      > Service names may differ; if not `sshd`, try `ssh`.

No arrow key interactive UI

!!! quote ""

  If you see a text input instead of the new arrow key UI, install the `ncurses` or `nano` package. The new interaction relies on the `tput` command.

About disabled repositories

!!! quote ""

  Many systems have multiple repositories. The script follows the system default. Disabled repositories will not be enabled after running the script, but their URLs will be updated. To enable them:

  === "Debian-based / openKylin"

      By default, `deb-src` and `proposed` are disabled. Uncomment the relevant lines in `/etc/apt/sources.list` to enable.

      > `Debian` &nbsp; `Ubuntu` &nbsp; `Kali` &nbsp; `Linux Mint` &nbsp; `Deepin` &nbsp; `Zorin OS` &nbsp; `Armbian` &nbsp; `Proxmox VE` &nbsp; `Raspberry Pi OS` &nbsp; `openKylin`

  === "RedHat-based / openEuler / OpenCloudOS / Anolis OS"

      Some repos are disabled by default. Set `enabled=1` in the relevant repo files under `/etc/yum.repos.d`.

      > `Red Hat Enterprise Linux` &nbsp; `CentOS` &nbsp; `Rocky Linux` &nbsp; `AlmaLinux` &nbsp; `Fedora` &nbsp; `openEuler` &nbsp; `OpenCloudOS` &nbsp; `Anolis OS`

  === "openSUSE"

      Some repos are disabled by default. Set `enabled=1` in the relevant repo files under `/etc/zypp/repos.d`.

??? quote "About the script's online location"

  The project uses [GitHub Action](https://github.com/SuperManito/LinuxMirrors/blob/main/.github/workflows/build-docs.yml#L29) to automatically copy the source code to the docs directory after each commit for website publishing. The site is hosted on [:netlify: Netlify](https://www.netlify.com), with almost no risk of hijacking.

  You can also use the raw address from the code repository. This is just to explain why there are several different addresses; the default official site address is easier to remember and access.

??? quote "About mirror download speed"

  First, see the recommendations in the [Mirror List](../mirrors/index.md) usage help. These are based on experience, but some users still worry about speed.

  The network latency (`Ping`) of a mirror is not directly related to download speed. Distance does not equal experience. Some mirrors have high bandwidth but poor speed due to load strategies.

  There are many open source speed test scripts written in C or Python. This project is written in Bash Shell and does not depend on third-party libraries. Bash is the most common scripting language for Linux operations and is preinstalled on most distributions, so users can run it directly without installing anything. This convenience cannot be replaced by other languages. However, Bash scripts may not easily achieve accurate speed testing; using other languages for this is reinventing the wheel.

  ??? quote "About software source selection"

  Many people may wonder, "Since scripts are so convenient and highly automated, why can't we automatically select the optimal software source?" It's not that it can't be done, but that it can't be done.

  "Software source selection" here refers to the script automatically selecting a software source with the best experience based on the client's network environment and location. This question needs to be addressed from multiple perspectives:

  - Speed

      As explained above, in summary, the pursuit of speed isn't a universal requirement. For most people, it's simply not noticeable; it's enough to get it working. Moreover, many Linux distributions now offer good speeds without switching sources.

  - Regarding mirror sites themselves

      To give a simple example, Alibaba Cloud mirror sites were once considered the top choice due to their high speed and availability. However, as the number of users increased, their speeds became increasingly slower, sometimes even below 10 Mbps.  
      Over time, mirror sites with large user bases may not be able to handle the high traffic, resulting in a poor user experience. Mirror sites with fewer users may eventually close, which is detrimental to the development of the entire ecosystem.

  - From Developer's Perspective

      This project aims to develop a universal repository switching script from the perspective of an operations and maintenance tool, rather than a tool that specifically addresses software repository requirements. The script's default behavior should be suitable for the majority of users. As an operations and maintenance tool, it should have a clear functional positioning. As a script, its pros and cons should be carefully considered from multiple perspectives, including scalability,and practicality. The choice of software repository should be fully vested in the user.

Full mirror format: <Web protocol>://<mirror address (domain or IP)>/<repo path>

Below are some advanced usage examples

Specify mirror address

bash <(curl -sSL https://linuxmirrors.cn/main.sh) --en --source mirror.example.com

Specify mirror repository directory

The repository here refers to the directory after the mirror site address, i.e., the repository directory on the mirror site. Although all are called repositories, it is easy to confuse.

Main scenario: The target mirror site has a corresponding system repository but does not match the default rule in this script.

??? note "Default repo names for each OS (click to expand)"

  The script does not adapt to unique repo names of a single mirror site for compatibility.

Example:

bash <(curl -sSL https://linuxmirrors.cn/main.sh) --en \
  --source mirrors.aliyun.com \
  --branch rockylinux

The repository directory name for Rocky Linux on Aliyun is rockylinux, not the default rocky, but you can override the default rule with the command option.

Some systems configure multiple repos at once. See command options for details.

Since the repo path is appended to the mirror address, you can use multi-level paths, e.g., --branch "linux/debian" -> https://mirrors.example.com/linux/debian

Switch EPEL repo only

!!! info "EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) is an additional repo maintained by Fedora, mainly for Red Hat-based distributions except Fedora itself. Configuring EPEL is a common need and is recommended by default."

Sometimes your desired mirror does not have EPEL. You can skip EPEL during the first run and then run:
```
bash <(curl -sSL https://linuxmirrors.cn/main.sh) --en --only-epel
```
For EPEL 7 (EOL), use the archive repo. For overseas networks, use --use-official-source-epel true to use the official repo.
Restore official mirrors

If you accidentally deleted the backup of the official mirror, use this command to restore. This skips mirror selection.
```
bash <(curl -sSL https://linuxmirrors.cn/main.sh) --en --use-official-source true
```
Some systems (e.g., Arch Linux) have no official mirror, so Aliyun will be used as a fallback.

Usage examples for specific systems

About CentOS EOL

The script adapts to EOL CentOS 7/8 and CentOS Stream 8.
- Chinese mainland
  
  Use the script as usual, no additional steps are required. As most mirror sites in Chinese mainland have already synchronized the CentOS Vault repository.
- International
  
  Use Tencent Cloud or Aliyun mirrors, or use --use-official-source true for the official repo.
EPEL 7 is also EOL and is supported by the script.

Specify GNU/Linux Debian Security repo

For maximum security, use the official repo due to mirror sync delays.

bash <(curl -sSL https://linuxmirrors.cn/main.sh) --en \
  --source-security security.debian.org \
  --branch-security debian-security

Specify Debian-based codename

Usually for switching system versions. Example:

=== "Upgrade GNU/Linux Debian to 13 "trixie""

  - Change version code

      ``` bash
      bash <(curl -sSL https://linuxmirrors.cn/main.sh) --en \
        --codename trixie \
        --upgrade-software false
      ```

  - Disable the backports repository

      ``` bash
      sed -i '/backports/s/^/# /' /etc/apt/sources.list
      ```

  - Upgrade the system

      ``` bash
      apt-get update
      apt-get dist-upgrade
      ```

  - After the upgrade is complete and the system is rebooted, perform the following steps

      ``` bash
      # Clear the original software sources (If there is any non-system software source content, please back it up manually first)
      sed -i '1,$d' /etc/apt/sources.list
      # Rerun the mirror switching script
      bash <(curl -sSL https://linuxmirrors.cn/main.sh) --en
      ```

=== "Switch GNU/Linux Debian to testing branch"

  ``` bash
  bash <(curl -sSL https://linuxmirrors.cn/main.sh) --en \
    --codename testing \
    --upgrade-software false
  ```

sed -i "s/$(lsb_release -cs)/your-codename/g" /etc/apt/sources.list

Switch Ubuntu EOL version mirrors

!!! info "EOL means End Of Life. Non-LTS Ubuntu versions are supported for only 9 months. Old versions are removed from the main repo and may require using the Ubuntu Old Releases repo."

See the official Wiki for version support and check each mirror for Ubuntu Old Releases support.
```
bash <(curl -sSL https://linuxmirrors.cn/main.sh) --en \
  --source mirrors.ustc.edu.cn \
  --branch ubuntu-old-releases
```

Arch Linux use Chinese community repo

This script does not support this extra repo. For reference, use:

SOURCE="https://mirrors.aliyun.com/archlinuxcn"
grep -q "\[archlinuxcn\]" /etc/pacman.conf || echo -e "[archlinuxcn]\nServer = ${SOURCE}/\$arch" >>/etc/pacman.conf

I18n (Internationalization)

The script provides multi-language support. Currently, there are three built-in display languages: 简体中文、繁體中文、English. The default is 简体中文.
- Specify Language
```
bash <(curl -sSL https://linuxmirrors.cn/main.sh) --lang xxx
```
  Type Value
  
  简体中文 zh-hans zh-cn zh
  
  繁體中文 zh-hant zh-tw zh-hk
  
  English en en-us
  
  It can also be used directly as a command option
```
bash <(curl -sSL https://linuxmirrors.cn/main.sh) --zh-hant
```
  --en --en-us --zh --zh-cn --zh-hans --zh-hant
- Select through interaction
```
bash <(curl -sSL https://linuxmirrors.cn/main.sh) --lang auto
```
Unattended (Automation)

To run without interaction, use at least the following options. Recommended for experienced users.
```
bash <(curl -sSL https://linuxmirrors.cn/main.sh) --en \
  --source mirror.example.com \
  --protocol http \
  --use-intranet-source false \
  --install-epel true \
  --backup true \
  --upgrade-software false \
  --clean-cache false \
  --ignore-backup-tips
```
If you get an "invalid option" error, check the option validity and whitespace encoding. Each option is written on a separate line for readability.
Pure mode

This feature is introduced to facilitate the use of developers and operation and maintenance personnel. After it is enabled, the script content output will be simplified. It is recommended to use it with other command options without interaction.
```
bash <(curl -sSL https://linuxmirrors.cn/main.sh) --en --pure-mode
```
!!! tip "Scrolling command logs may have unpredictable display issues, but no problems have been found so far."

Type	Value
简体中文	`zh-hans` `zh-cn` `zh`
繁體中文	`zh-hant` `zh-tw` `zh-hk`
English	`en` `en-us`

Customizing the Script

If you are a developer of another project and want to create a custom script based on this project, refer to the following. Some maintainers of China education network mirrors have already done so.

It is not recommended to modify the core logic. Keep in sync with the upstream source code. The script execution order is controlled by the main function and is clear.
You can simply remove irrelevant content, e.g., clear the mirror list arrays mirror_list_(default|edu|abroad|extranet|intranet), e.g., mirror_list_default=()
To customize script output, modify the run_start, run_end, and print_title functions.
To add custom shell content, see the execution order in main. Insert content directly or encapsulate in a function.
To reduce script size, delete unnecessary content. Besides the mirror lists, you can remove some modules:
1. Keep the original structure; empty out the function bodies if not needed.
2. Remove unused OS repo content gen_repo_files_xxx, which takes up over 60% of the script.
3. Remove unused feature modules, e.g., handle_command_options, backup_original_mirrors, upgrade_software.
4. Remove unnecessary language packs, for example: function msg_pack_en() {}
Main configuration is controlled by unified variables, as are command options. These global variables are all uppercase and use underscores. See the table below. Declare them at the top of the script (reserved comment area) for quick customization.
