Installing Ignyq on Linux

Pick the right package

Use the table below to match your distro to the correct download. If unsure, run cat /etc/os-release to identify your distribution and version.

Architecture: x86_64 (64-bit Intel/AMD) only. Run uname -m to confirm.

Other distros (Arch, openSUSE, NixOS, Gentoo) are not officially supported but the binaries inside the DEB/RPM are self-contained — alien-converting the .deb usually works on Arch/openSUSE. Email support@ignyq.co if you'd like distro-specific packaging considered.

Install on Debian or Ubuntu

Open a terminal in the directory containing the downloaded .deb file and run:

sudo apt install ./ignyq_1.0.0_amd64.deb

The apt install ./<path> syntax automatically resolves dependencies. If your apt is too old to support that syntax:

sudo dpkg -i ignyq_1.0.0_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

The second command pulls in any missing dependencies.

After install, launch Ignyq from your application menu, or from the terminal:

shm

(shm is the short alias; stock-ignyq and ignyq also work.)

Install on RHEL / AlmaLinux / Rocky / Fedora

Open a terminal in the directory containing the downloaded .rpm file and run:

sudo dnf install ./ignyq-1.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm

If you don't have dnf (older RHEL/CentOS), use yum:

sudo yum install ./ignyq-1.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm

Or low-level rpm directly (won't auto-resolve dependencies):

sudo rpm -ivh ignyq-1.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm

After install, launch Ignyq from your application menu, or from the terminal:

shm

Verify the installer checksum (recommended)

SHA-256 checksums for every official build are published at ignyq.co/keys. Verify your download before installing:

DEB package

sha256sum ~/Downloads/ignyq_1.0.0_amd64.deb

Compare the output to the SHA-256 listed at ignyq.co/keys for your version.

RPM package

sha256sum ~/Downloads/ignyq-1.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm

Compare the output to the SHA-256 listed at ignyq.co/keys for your version.

If your computed checksum does not match, do not install — download a fresh copy from ignyq.co/download and email security@ignyq.co.

Updating & uninstalling

Ignyq does not auto-update on Linux — by design, we respect your package manager. When a new version ships, we'll email registered customers and post on ignyq.co/changelog. To update, download the new package and re-run the install command above. Settings, watchlists, database, and license carry over — they live in ~/.config/ignyq/ and ~/Documents/Ignyq/.

To uninstall:

sudo apt remove ignyq          # Debian / Ubuntu
sudo dnf remove ignyq          # RHEL family

Your data folders are not removed by the package manager. To fully wipe Ignyq's data:

rm -rf ~/.config/ignyq/ ~/Documents/Ignyq/

Need help?

If installation fails, dependencies don't resolve, or the GPG verification doesn't behave as expected — we're here. Email support@ignyq.co and we'll respond within one business day.

Include if possible:

• Output of cat /etc/os-release
• Output of uname -m
• The exact filename you downloaded
• The full error message (terminal output preferred)
