Zettlr is a fantastic markdown editor for Linux, Mac, and Windows. It has a lot of really useful features, such as support for YAML, citations, support for LaTeX, etc. In this guide, we\u2019ll go over how to set up Zettlr on Linux.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ubuntu installation instructions<\/h2>\n

The Zettlr markdown editor works on Ubuntu just fine, however, it is not included in the Ubuntu official software repositories. Instead, if you wish to use the application on your Ubuntu system, you will have to download the official DEB package and install it manually.<\/p>\n

To get the latest Zettlr DEB package, head over to the official download page. Once you are on the official download page for Zettlr, locate the Debian logo, and click on it with the mouse. When you select this button, the DEB package will download to your computer.<\/p>\n

After downloading the latest Zettlr DEB package to your computer, use the CD<\/strong> command and move into the \u201cDownloads\u201d directory.<\/p>\n

\ncd ~\/Downloads\n<\/pre>\n
Once inside the \u201cDownloads\u201d directory, the installation of the DEB package can begin. Using the apt install<\/strong> command down below, install Zettlr.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt install .\/Zettlr-*.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Debian installation instructions<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Zettlr supports Debian via a DEB package, so you will be able to get the app working on your computer quite easily. To start the installation, head over to the Zettlr download website.<\/p>\n
Once on the official website, locate the \u201cDebian\u201d logo, and click on it with the mouse. When you select this button, the Zettlr DEB package will download to your computer. From here, use the CD<\/strong> command and move into the \u201cDownloads\u201d folder.<\/p>\n
\ncd ~\/Downloads\n<\/pre>\n
After entering the \u201cDownloads\u201d folder, use the dpkg -i<\/strong> command to install the Zettlr DEB package to your Debian PC.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i Zettlr-*.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Now that the Zettlr DEB package is installed, you\u2019ll need to correct any dependencies issues that occurred during the installation process. You can correct the dependencies using apt-get install -f<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux installation instructions<\/h2>\n
The Zettlr application is available for Arch Linux in the AUR. To start the installation process, use the pacman<\/strong> command and install the \u201cgit\u201d and \u201cbase-devel\u201d packages.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S git base-devel\n<\/pre>\n
Now that the two packages are installed, you\u2019ll need to set up the Trizen AUR helper. This program makes it much easier to install the Zettlr application on your computer. To get the Trizen app working, enter the commands below.<\/p>\n
\ngit clone https:\/\/aur.archlinux.org\/trizen.git\ncd trizen\/\nmakepkg -sri\n<\/pre>\n
Finally, after setting up the Trizen AUR helper, use the trizen -S<\/strong> command to install the latest release of Zettlr on your computer.<\/p>\n
\ntrizen -S zettlr\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora installation instructions<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Zettlr supports Fedora Linux via a downloadable RPM package file. If you\u2019re using Fedora and you\u2019d like to install the app on your system, start by heading over to the official download page. Once there, select the Fedora logo to download the RPM package file.<\/p>\n
After downloading the latest Zettlr RPM package file to your computer, the installation can begin. Using the CD<\/strong> command, move the terminal into the \u201cDownloads\u201d folder. Then, install Zettlr using the dnf install<\/strong> command below.<\/p>\n
\ncd ~\/Downloads\nsudo dnf install Zettlr-*-x86_64.rpm\n<\/pre>\n
OpenSUSE installation instructions<\/h2>\n

Once the Fedora RPM package file is done downloading, the installation can begin. Using the CD<\/strong> command, move into the \u201cDownloads\u201d folder. Then, use the zypper install<\/strong> command to install the Zettlr RPM package.<\/p>\n
\ncd ~\/Downloads\nsudo zypper install Zettlr-*-x86_64.rpm\n<\/pre>\n
AppImage installation instructions<\/h2>\n
Zettlr has an AppImage release. So, if you want to use the app on your Linux system but do not use Ubuntu, Debian, Arch Linux, or the other Linux OSes covered in this guide, you\u2019ll still be able to.<\/p>\n
To start the installation, head over to the official Zettlr download page. Once on the page, find the AppImage icon and download the latest 64-bit release to your computer.<\/p>\n
When the AppImage file is done downloading, use the makedir<\/strong> command to create a folder with the name of \u201cAppImages.\u201d This folder will hold the Zettlr AppImage file.<\/p>\n
\nmkdir -p ~\/AppImages\/\n<\/pre>\n
After creating the new folder, use the mv<\/strong> command and place the Zettlr AppImage in the folder.<\/p>\n
\nmv Zettlr-*-x86_64.AppImage ~\/AppImages\/\n<\/pre>\n
Using the cd<\/strong> command move into the \u201cAppImages\u201d folder.<\/p>\n
\ncd ~\/AppImages\/\n<\/pre>\n
Update the permissions of the AppImage file using chmod<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\nsudo chmod +x Zettlr-*-x86_64.AppImage\n<\/pre>\n
Finally, run the program with the .\/Zettlr-*-x86_64.AppImage<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n
\n.\/Zettlr-*-x86_64.AppImage\n<\/pre>\n
