Run ElectrOS on various linux distributions

[filippo-ferrando]

If you want to install ElectrOS on your linux-based machine, there are few steps you have to follow:

• Go to the download page and select the version you want to download:
  • *x86.deb for debian-based distro like Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, ecc.. installed on a x86 architecture
  • *x86.AppImage for all linux distros on x86 machines
  • *arm.deb for debian-base distro like Ubuntu-ARM, Raspbian, Armbian, ecc.. installed on a ARM machine (like a Raspberry Pi 🍓 )
  • *arm.AppImage for all linux distros on ARM machines
• Install on a Debian-based machine:
  • cd to the folder you've downloaded the .deb file then launch sudo dpkg -i <filename>.deb - applies for x86 and ARM
• Install the AppImage:
  • Give the file execution permission with chmod +x <filename>.AppImage
  • Run it with ./<filename>.AppImage
  • If you wish to integrate the app in the OS menu you can always use a tool like this.
  • This steps applies identically for x86 and ARM machines
