How do I install Korva on Linux?

Korva runs on 64-bit (x86-64) Linux. The download page has three files. Pick one:

• AppImage: one file that runs on any distribution, with nothing to install. Recommended if you’re not sure.
• Debian (.deb): for Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint and other Debian-based systems. Korva appears in your applications menu.
• RPM (.rpm): for Fedora, RHEL, openSUSE and other RPM-based systems. Korva appears in your applications menu.

The commands below use the 1.9.6 file names. If you downloaded a newer version, use the name of the file you have.

Run the AppImage

1. On the download page, click Download on the AppImage card.

2. Open a terminal in the folder you saved it to (usually Downloads) and make the file executable:

   chmod +x Korva_1.9.6_amd64.AppImage

3. Run it:

   ./Korva_1.9.6_amd64.AppImage

You can also make it executable in your file manager: right-click the file, choose Properties, and turn on Allow executing file as program (the wording depends on your desktop). Then double-click it.

Install the .deb (Ubuntu, Debian, Mint)

1. Click Download on the Debian (.deb) card.

2. In a terminal, in the folder with the file, run:

   sudo apt install ./Korva_1.9.6_amd64.deb

3. Open Korva from your applications menu.

Install the .rpm (Fedora, RHEL, openSUSE)

1. Click Download on the RPM (.rpm) card.

2. In a terminal, in the folder with the file, run one of these:

   sudo dnf install ./Korva-1.9.6-1.x86_64.rpm
   sudo zypper install ./Korva-1.9.6-1.x86_64.rpm

   Use dnf on Fedora and RHEL, zypper on openSUSE.

3. Open Korva from your applications menu.

Open Korva the first time

The start screen appears. From here you can open a .pub file, start a blank page or pick a template.

Next: open your first .pub file or take the tour of the Korva window.

Update or remove Korva

• The AppImage checks for new versions when it starts and asks before it downloads anything. For the .deb or .rpm, download the new package from the download page and install it with the same command. See How do I update Korva?
• To remove Korva, delete the AppImage file, or remove the Korva package with your software manager or package tool. Your .kva files, PDFs and .pub files are not touched.
