Install your Linux package

Once your Linux package is generated, you can install it on a target Linux machine and validate the application before broader distribution.

Standard installation

A download link is automatically created after generation. It always points to the latest available version. Open this link from the target Linux environment to download the package generated for the correct format and architecture.

Then:

  1. Download the package that matches the target environment.
  2. Install the package on the Linux machine using the standard installation flow of that environment.
  3. Launch the application on the target device.

For production rollouts, always perform the first installation on a real Linux device representative of your target fleet, using the exact package format and architecture you plan to distribute.

If you exported a standalone Linux package for offline installation, validate the package on a Linux machine representative of the disconnected target environment before broader rollout.

First launch and Linux checks

After installation, validate the main points below on the target Linux machine:

  • the app opens correctly after installation;
  • the displayed icon and app name are correct;
  • the package format and architecture match the actual target environment;
  • full-screen behavior is correct if Kiosk mode is enabled;
  • the application behaves correctly after being closed and reopened.

Update or replace an existing version

If you change the code or desktop binary of your application, you must export a new Linux package and redistribute it.

On the target Linux machine:

  • install the new package built for the correct format and architecture;
  • confirm the expected version/build is the one being launched;
  • revalidate kiosk behavior and any critical workflows after the update.

Previous versions

To download a previous version of your Linux package, click Download next to the desired version in the Windows / macOS / Linux tab.

FAQ

Can I install the same Linux package on multiple devices?
Yes, as long as the target devices use the same package format family and hardware architecture.

Do updates apply automatically on Linux?
No. If you make a code-level or desktop-binary update, you need to export a new Linux package and redistribute it.

Should I validate the package on more than one Linux device?
Yes, if your deployment targets different Linux distributions, hardware architectures, or usage contexts. At minimum, validate on one representative device per target environment.

Can I use the Linux package in a fully disconnected environment?
Yes, if you exported it with Asset management (offline). See Standalone Linux package for offline installation.
