Install on Linux

Crossonic is available as an AppImage.

If you are on ArchLinux, you may install Crossonic from the AUR instead: crossonic, crossonic‑bin.

Note

Crossonic is also available as a .tar.gz archive but you’ll need to take care of installing dependencies, integrating the app into your system and updating to a new version yourself.

Install

Visit the releases page, scroll down to Assets and download Crossonic-x.x.x-linux-x86-64.AppImage.

Next open the file. When prompted to allow execution, allow it. On some systems it’s necessary to manually make the file executable, you can do that by entering the following command in a terminal in the directory of the downloaded file:

chmod +x ./Crossonic-x.x.x-linux-x86-64.AppImage

Make sure that you change the file name in the above command to the exact name of the file you downloaded.

When prompted to integrate the AppImage, click Yes.

The app will now properly install itself on your system and restart.

Update

Starting with version v0.1.0 the app is able to update itself if it was installed as an AppImage. Simply click Install when prompted that a new version is available.

To manually update to a new version, download the latest AppImage, make it executable and replace the old AppImage file with the new one.

Uninstall

There is currently no automated uninstaller, but the process is not difficult. Assuming you followed the install instructions to install Crossonic:

1. Fully exit Crossonic if it is running, either by right-clicking on the tray icon and clicking Exit or by opening the settings page and clicking Exit.

2. Uninstall the AppImage and .desktop file from your system:

   rm ~/.local/bin/crossonic
   rm ~/.local/share/applications/org.crossonic.app.desktop

3. Remove all app data:

   rm -r ~/.local/share/org.crossonic.app
   rm -r ~/.cache/org.crossonic.app
