# Estonian ID-card

Packages to enable Estonian ID-card support are available from the Arch User Repository. This article explains how to install the official software versions by AS Sertifitseerimiskeskus.

## Quick install

Install pcsclite from the official repositories and esteidfirefoxplugin, qdigidoc and qesteidutil from the AUR.

Enable `pcscd.socket` using systemd.

## Browser plugin (web authentication & digital signatures)

The browser plugin AUR package is called esteidfirefoxplugin, which also requires dependencies esteidpkcs11loader and esteidcerts.

It also requires you to run the PCSC daemon, which can be installed with pcsclite from the official repositories.

Make it auto-start on demand by enabling `pcscd.socket` using systemd.

Don't forget to restart Firefox after finishing.

## ID-card and Digidoc utilities

The ID-card utility packages are qesteidutil and qdigidoc, with dependencies esteidcerts, libdigidoc and libdigidocpp.

These applications will automatically appear in your application menus. You can also start from command line with `qdigidocclient` and `qesteidutil`.
