Install Git
Please install Git and Git LFS before using the ARCitect.
💡 For Linux we recommend to install via homebrew as described on the site above.
Install ARCitect via installer
- Head to the ARCitect's GitHub release page.
- Download the Linux AppImage ARCitect-x.x.x.AppImage
Make the ARCitect executable
(A) with the user interface
- open the folder where the AppImage is currently saved (likely in Downloads)
- (optional) move the file to a location where you want it saved
- right-click the file and select properties
- go to the "permissions" tab and tick the field "execute"
- now double-clicking the AppImage should start the ARCitect
(B) from the command line (you might need specific rights for this)
- open a terminal
- move to the directory where you have saved your AppImage (e.g. Downloads)
cd Downloads
- make the file executable (use the appropriate name of the file)
chmod u+x ARCitect-x.x.x.AppImage
- now double-clicking the AppImage or running the following command (with the appropriate file name) should start the ARCitect
./ARCitect-x.x.x.AppImage
