Linux installation instructions

AppImage

Download the AppImage and type the following:

  1. chmod +x marktext-%version%-x86_64.AppImage
  2. ./marktext-%version%-x86_64.AppImage
  3. Now you can decide whether you want to install Mark Text (yes) or just execute it (no).

Installation

You cannot really install an AppImage. It's just a file which can be integrated with your desktop environment. The only thing you have to do is to execute Mark Text and click Yes on dialog.

Uninstallation

  1. Delete AppImage file
  2. Delete ~/.local/share/applications/appimagekit-marktext.desktop
  3. Delete your user settings: ~/.config/marktext

Custom launch script

  1. Save AppImage somewhere. Let's say ~/bin/marktext.AppImage
  2. chmod +x ~/bin/marktext.AppImage
  3. Create a launch script: 
    #!/bin/bash
DESKTOPINTEGRATION=0 ~/bin/marktext.AppImage

Known issues

  • Mark Text is always integrated into desktop environment after updating

Binary

You can download the latest marktext-%version%.tar.gz package from the release page. You may need to install electron dependencies.

Flatpak

Installation

Prerequisites:

You need to install the flatpak package for your distribution. Please see the official flatpak tutorial for more information and note that you have to add the flathub repository (flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo) as described in the Quick Setup.

Install from Flathub:

After you install flatpak and flathub repository, you can install Mark Text with just one command:

sudo flatpak install flathub com.github.marktext.marktext

or flatpak install --user flathub com.github.marktext.marktext to install for the current user only.

To run Mark Text just execute flatpak run com.github.marktext.marktext or click on the Mark Text icon in your application launcher.

Update

To update Mark Text run the following command:

sudo flatpak update com.github.marktext.marktext

or sudo flatpak update to update all installed flatpaks.
