sudo dpkg -i clash-verge-rev-linux-amd64.deb; to install the .rpm package, execute sudo rpm -ivh clash-verge-rev-linux-x86_64.rpm. For Raspberry Pi and other ARM devices, please choose the corresponding architecture version. After downloading the Mihomo core, you need to unzip the gz and grant executable permissions to run it.
Complete Configuration in Three Steps after Installing Clash
The entire process from installation package to proxy enabled usually takes no more than 5 minutes.
Choose Platform, Download and Install
Choose the "Featured ⭐" version for the corresponding platform of your device system. For Windows, choose Clash Verge Rev; for Android, choose Clash Meta for Android Universal; and run the installation package to complete the installation.
Paste Subscription Link, Pull Nodes
Open the "Config" or "Subscription" entry in the client, paste the subscription URL provided by the service provider, and update. The client will automatically parse the node list. It's recommended to enable scheduled updates to prevent disconnection due to subscription expiration.
Switch to Rule Mode, Start Using
Set the operation mode to Rule. Clash automatically determines traffic routing based on GeoIP rules—domestic sites connect directly, and foreign traffic goes through the proxy. No manual node switching required, latency is automatically optimized.
Clash Download and Installation FAQ
Which Clash client should beginners download?
Recommended versions for each platform: Clash Verge Rev (x64) for Windows, Clash Verge Rev (Apple Silicon or Intel) for macOS, Clash Meta for Android Universal for Android, Stash for iOS (requires a US Apple ID), and Clash Verge Rev .deb or .rpm for Linux desktop. The versions labeled "Featured ⭐" on each platform are the most active and stable choices in the community and can be downloaded directly.
Are Clash Verge and Clash Verge Rev the same software?
Clash Verge Rev is a community continuation of Clash Verge (Rev = Revised). The original Clash Verge project has stopped updating. Clash Verge Rev continues to iterate based on it and integrates the Mihomo (Clash Meta) kernel. It currently has more complete features and more active maintenance. You can download the Rev version directly without installing the original.
Which version should I download for M1 / M2 / M3 Mac?
For Apple Silicon Macs (all versions M1 and later), please choose the version labeled "Apple Silicon" or "ARM64" for native support, better performance, and lower power consumption. If unsure, click the Apple menu in the upper-left corner → "About This Mac": if the "Chip" section shows "Apple M," it's Silicon; if it shows "Intel Core," choose the x64 version.
What is the difference between TUN mode and System Proxy mode, and which one should I use?
System Proxy only takes over HTTP / HTTPS traffic. Some command-line tools and game clients do not actively follow system proxy settings and still connect directly. TUN mode takes over all TCP / UDP traffic at the network stack level, acting like a virtual network card, with wider coverage. For daily browser use, System Proxy + Rule mode is sufficient. If you need games or command-line tools to also go through the proxy, you can enable TUN mode.
Why are there no free Clash clients for iOS?
iOS's sandboxing mechanism requires proxy apps to use the system Network Extension interface to take over device traffic. Applying for this permission requires an Apple Developer account ($99 annual fee). Combined with App Store distribution and maintenance costs, mainstream iOS proxy tools are generally released as paid apps. Stash, Shadowrocket, etc., are priced between $3–$8 for a lifetime purchase, which is not high overall.
Clash for Windows has stopped updating. What are the risks of continuing to use it?
The original author deleted the repository and stopped maintenance at the end of 2023, and no longer releases security updates or bug fixes. Technically it can still be used, but it will not receive patches for potential future vulnerabilities. Users with security requirements are advised to migrate to Clash Verge Rev. Configuration files (subscription links / config.yaml) can be reused directly, and the migration cost is extremely low.
What should I do if the Android APK installation says "Problem parsing the package"?
There are two common reasons: ① The Android system version is lower than 5.0; ② The file was corrupted during download—in this case, re-download the "Universal APK" and install it again. If the problem persists, check if the "Settings → Security / Privacy → Install unknown apps" permission is enabled and if there is sufficient storage space.
Are Mihomo and Clash Meta the same kernel?
Yes, it's the same project. The MetaCubeX team officially renamed the Clash Meta kernel to Mihomo at the end of 2023. The features are fully compatible, and configuration files do not require any modification. Many graphical client interfaces still show "Clash Meta Kernel," but they are actually calling the Mihomo binary.
