Install steps

Follow these steps after you have picked the matching package.

  1. Download the Linux x64 AppImage from the Canary downloads.
  2. Mark the AppImage as executable in your file manager or terminal.
  3. Launch it once before changing deeper settings.
  4. Use tar archives only when you prefer a manual folder layout.
  5. Choose ARM64 only when your Linux device and release asset both say ARM64.

Before first launch

These checks prevent most wrong-file and first-open problems.

  • Keep GPU drivers current before troubleshooting rendering problems.
  • Try launching from a terminal when the app closes immediately.
  • Steam Deck users should follow the Steam Deck page for Game Mode notes.
