Linux Installation

The app bundle is built using ubuntu 20.04, so it should work on any newer distributions. See tauri docs for potential issues with running on older distributions.

.AppImage

AppImage is bundled with all the necesary dependencies, so it should work on most linux distribution. You simply need to make the file executeable

mv kube-knots_X.Y.Z_amd64.AppImage kube-knots.AppImage # optional: just making the name friendlier
chmod a+x ./kube-knots.AppImage

This however does mean the file size is larger compared to the .deb version.

.deb

To use the .deb file, you need to make sure the correct dependencies are installed.

apt-get update
apt-get install -y libgtk-3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev libappindicator3-dev librsvg2-dev patchelf

You may need to run the following command to fix any broken dependencies

apt install --fix-broken -y

Then you can run

dpkg -i kube-knots_X.Y.Z_amd64.deb

and finally

kube-knots

to launch the app
