* [WPEBackend-fdo](https://github.com/Igalia/WPEBackend-fdo): A reference FreeDesktop.org backend for WPE, that relies on different FreeDesktop.org projects and can serve as a starting point to either customize or create a completely new backend for specific configurations.
* [Cog](https://github.com/Igalia/cog): A simple and minimalistic browser using WPE, with no user interface, suitable to be used as a Web application container or as a starting point to develop more complex browser applications based on WPE.

These packages are not just a quick and simple way to test WPE but
they also come with all the development files and documentation
necessary to build and test software that uses this web engine. Some
of the distributions that already have built packages for WPE are:

* [Debian](https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=sourcenames&keywords=wpewebkit)
* [Ubuntu](https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=wpewebkit&searchon=sourcenames&suite=all&section=all)
* [Raspbian](https://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/w/wpewebkit/)
* [Arch Linux](https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/wpewebkit/)
* [Fedora](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/philn/wpewebkit/)

This list is not exhaustive, so if you use a different distributions,
there might be packages for it already. Refer to the official
documentation of your distribution for information on how to install packages.

While there are several simple ways for developers to experiment with and explore WPE, none are tuned for performance. Generally, shipping products for embedded systems are performance-tuned custom builds. To make this easier, there is also [meta-webkit](https://github.com/Igalia/meta-webkit), which provides build recipes, WebKit based runtimes, and browsers for use with OpenEmbedded and/or Yocto.

There are also pre-built packages available for many <a href="/about/get-wpe.html">Linux distributions</a>.
