Linux Installation

Installation guide for Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch-based distributions.

Download the Installer

Latest Stable Build • Linux (AppImage / DEB)

1. Docker Setup (Critical)

Linux users typically don't need "Docker Desktop" (though it is supported). You can use the native Docker Engine.

# Ubuntu / Debian

sudo apt update && sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose

# Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S docker docker-compose

Post-Installation Steps

Orrerygen runs as a non-root user. You MUST add your user to the docker group.

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker

2. Application Formats

AppImage (Universal)

Works on almost all distributions. No installation required.

chmod +x Orrerygen.AppImage
./Orrerygen.AppImage

DEB (Debian/Ubuntu)

Native installation for Ubuntu, Debian, Mint.

sudo dpkg -i orrerygen.deb

Troubleshooting

"Permission Denied" Socket Error

If you see dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied:

  • This means your user is not in the docker group.
  • Run the usermod command above and log out/log in completely.
