Install using the installer script
Heads up!
➤ The AnythingLLM Desktop app is packaged as an AppImage and is available for x64 and arm64 architectures.
➤ The Linux Arm64 AppImage is currently only available for AnythingLLM Desktop 1.9.0 and higher.
➤ Please open a Github Issue (opens in a new tab) if you have installation or bootup troubles.
First, open a terminal on your Linux machine and run this command.
# Download the installer script to wherever you want to run it from
curl -fsSL https://cdn.anythingllm.com/latest/installer.sh -o installer.sh
# Make the script executable
chmod +x installer.sh
# Run the script
./installer.shBy default, the installer will download the appropriate architecture of AnythingLLM Desktop for your system into the $HOME directory.
You can also re-run the installer script to update the app to the latest version as new versions are released.
This will download the latest version of AnythingLLM's AppImage as well as ask to create the Ubuntu apparmor rule to allow the app to run
without any additional configuration. You need to create an apparmor rule to allow the app to run or else you will run into SUID issues during bootup.
Lastly, it will create a simple .desktop file so the app can be launched from the desktop and pinned to the launcher.
You can start the app via the UI or from the command line at any time by running ./AnythingLLMDesktop.AppImage. This will boot the app with full logging.
