## Running on Linux

There are two download options for running on Linux: the **dynamically-linked** build and the **AppImage**. The dynamic build is lighter, but might only run on newer systems. The AppImage is a bit bigger, but should run seamlessly on most systems (anything newer than Ubuntu 22.04 LTS).

Each version also accompanies an `INSTALL.sh` script that will create a desktop file for AO pointing to where the script was ran. This will enable you to run AO from an app launcher. Note that moving AO's folder will require running this script again.

### AppImage

If you downloaded the **AppImage** version, it should just be plug-and-play. If you run into errors or bugs, contact us in our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/wWvQ3pw) or open an [issue on GitHub](https://github.com/AttorneyOnline/AO2-Client/issues).

### Dynamic

If you downloaded the **dynamically-linked** version, use the `launch.sh` script to run AO.

You may need to install some libraries in your system. These are the commands to run on a terminal for some distributions:

* Arch Linux:
```
$ sudo pacman -S qt6-base qt6-tools qt6-websockets qt6-imageformats
```
* Fedora:
```
$ sudo dnf install qt6-qtbase qt6-qttools qt6-qtwebsockets qt6-qtimageformats
```
* Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:
```
$ sudo apt-get install qt6base-dev libqt6uitools6 libqt6websockets6 qt6-image-formats-plugins
```
