Install on Linux

Vegha ships for Linux as a self-contained AppImage that runs on any reasonably current 64-bit distribution — Ubuntu 22.04+, Fedora 38+, Arch, and others.

  1. Download Vegha-linux-x64.AppImage.

  2. Make it executable:

    Terminal window
    chmod +x Vegha-linux-x64.AppImage
  3. Run it:

    Terminal window
    ./Vegha-linux-x64.AppImage

That’s it — the AppImage bundles the .NET runtime and every dependency, so nothing else needs to be installed.

To get a menu entry and icon, move the AppImage somewhere stable and let your desktop pick it up, or use a tool like AppImageLauncher:

Terminal window
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
mv Vegha-linux-x64.AppImage ~/.local/bin/Vegha.AppImage

The AppImage is self-contained, but a desktop environment must provide the usual graphical libraries (FUSE for AppImage mounting, libfontconfig, GTK). These are present on any standard desktop install. On a minimal or headless system you may need:

Terminal window
# Debian / Ubuntu
sudo apt install libfuse2 libfontconfig1
DataLocation
Settings~/.config/Vegha
Your collectionsWherever you choose — a normal folder on disk
OAuth2 tokens & secretsThe Secret Service API (GNOME Keyring / KWallet)

The Linux AppImage does not self-update. To upgrade, download the latest Vegha-linux-x64.AppImage from the releases page and replace the old file. Your settings and collections are untouched.
