Install on Linux

The .deb package for Ubuntu, Debian and Linux Mint, or the AppImage for other distributions.

Ubuntu, Debian or Linux Mint: the .deb package

  1. Download Himnova-Live-linux-amd64.deb from Download.

  2. Install it from a terminal opened in the folder where you downloaded it: sudo apt install ./Himnova-Live-linux-amd64.deb. If your system installs .deb files with a double-click, that works too.

  3. Open Himnova Live from the applications menu.

The package installs to /opt/himnova-live and sets up the security sandbox the app uses, including the AppArmor profile on Ubuntu 24.04 or later. Use the .deb whenever you can.

Other distributions: the AppImage

  1. Download Himnova-Live-linux-x86_64.AppImage.

  2. Make it executable, either in the file's properties or with chmod +x Himnova-Live-linux-x86_64.AppImage.

  3. Double-click it or run ./Himnova-Live-linux-x86_64.AppImage. If it won't open, see Linux: known issues.

Warning: On Ubuntu 24.04 or later, the AppImage won't start because the system blocks its security sandbox. Use the .deb instead. Running the AppImage with --no-sandbox works, but it turns off a security protection.

Video and audio on Linux: libmpv

Files that play through the app's engine (AVI, WMV, WMA…) need your distribution's libmpv. The .deb installs it for you. With the AppImage, install libmpv2 (libmpv1 on Ubuntu 22.04) and libopengl0 with your package manager.
