Get the source code

Launchpad’s source code exists in a Git repository, and you can clone it using Git.

Please note that currently Launchpad can only be built and run on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or newer.

The images/icons are still copyrighted traditionally, to protect Launchpad’s visual identity, but they’re shipped with the code and are fine to use for development and testing purposes. If you launch a production server, it needs to look different and have a different name, since ‘Launchpad’ is a trademark.

Overview

Launchpad is a core of service-specific code surrounding various third-party libraries.

The process of building Launchpad locally requires a number of steps. You can follow the quick start instructions in Running or the advanced instructions in Running.

Clone the repository

If you just want to grab the development source code branch:

code:

git clone https://git.launchpad.net/launchpad
