installing

Pick the format your distro prefers.

  1. 1

    Snap - nothing to download

    Ubuntu, or any distro running snapd. One command, and updates arrive on their own.

    sudo snap install aevumwriter

    Aevum runs confined: it reaches your files under your home folder, and stores its sign-in token in a file of its own. To keep that token in your desktop keyring instead: sudo snap connect aevumwriter:password-manager-service.

  2. 2

    AppImage - installs nothing

    One file, no package manager, no root.

    chmod +x Aevum_0.1.0_amd64.AppImage
    ./Aevum_0.1.0_amd64.AppImage

    Needs FUSE. On a minimal system: sudo apt install libfuse2.

  3. 3

    Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Pop!_OS

    sudo apt install ./Aevum_0.1.0_amd64.deb

    Aevum then appears in your applications grid like anything else.

  4. 4

    Fedora, RHEL, openSUSE

    sudo dnf install ./Aevum-0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
  5. 5

    No security theatre here

    Linux won't interrogate you about an unknown publisher, so there is nothing to click past. The downloads are unsigned all the same - the checksum above is how you check them. The snap is signed by the store.

the first minute

What happens when it opens

Aevum opens like a letter, not a dashboard. It asks your name, shows you what it is and isn't, lets you pick the light the room works in, and takes a name for your first workspace. Then it gets out of the way.
